Seven weeks before Denver’s mayoral runoff election, the first public poll of the matchup between Mike Johnston and Kelly Brough shows the candidates in a statistical dead heat — with plenty of undecided voters to win over.The poll, conducted last week by a bipartisan team, suggests that Johnston, a former state senator and the former leader of Gary Community Ventures, has a slight edge, with support from 38.9% of likely voters in the city’s June 6 runoff election. Brough, the former president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and a former chief of staff to then-Mayor John Hickenlooper, had support from 34.1% of poll respondents.

It was conducted of 410 likely run...
