Regime Change - Denver City Election Polling results in mayoral race Feb. To May 1991 - The polling conducted in the 1991 mayoral election demonstrates that long shots can win and that the campaign makes a difference. Webb began in third place from a base in the black community and some anti-Peña Democrats. He only surged ahead of Don Bain (the Republican) in the last couple of weeks before the general election. Webb largely out-maneuvered Bain on the airport issue and out-campaigned him by walking the city. He then made a spectacular come-from-behind effort to win the runoff four weeks later. |
