In 2010 the “generic Republican candidate” may always look better to voters than the “actual Republican candidate.” The more they learn, the less voters like.
Question is will we change the Governor out if his numbers don’t improve.
I think Jane Norton would have been up 5-6 points over Bennet especially if you educate the voter on each.
I’m out-of-town and just logged on. Do we know the methodology for this poll? Was it an automated robo phone poll or a traditional poll with real people talking to a scientific sample of real voters?
They’re usually pretty good about disclosing their methodology.

Any one heard who is going to manage Romanoff’s campaign?
n/t
Romanoff seems to be another “smartest guy in the room type” (sorry Mike B) so his manager pick will be interesting. Will he pick a doormat or someone who will add value?
Why do you care? You’re not going to vote for him.
Ralphie you are a better blogger than mind reader. Who cares who I’m voting for.
n/t
I stand by my simple question.
who Jane Norton plans to hire. Anyone heard?
She’s announcing Tuesday.
He’s got experience running a Senate campaign and the state party. He just needs to get some of the kinks out.
Craig Goldman…the guys who ran five states out here for McCain. Colorado was one of those states. He lives in DC.
Didn’t she win Colorado for Romney?
Also, huge favor for himself.
A Democratic Primary will raise awareness and name recognition for both B & R. Discussion of the issues will help public pay attention to their positions.
Best of all, a primary will “focus” Bennett on serving his constituents.
Under 50% job approval and favorable ratings again.
was the most significant number in the poll.
Forget the head-to-heads. An incumbent needs to be above 50 percent job approval.
Numbers will likely drop futher with all the announced cuts of services.
Let’s talk some numbers here. Among Dems in this poll Bennet is 86-6 vs. Buck and 83-9 vs. Frazier. Also Bennet’s favorable rating is 75% among Dems. The bottom line is that Senator Bennet is doing well among his base D voters.
what are Bennet’s numbers vs a primary candidate?
your numbers point out that 6 or 9 % of Democrats would rather vote for a Republican than for him – in a state where it takes every dem and a majority of independents to get a democrat elected statewide.
It takes every repub and a majority of independents. You always have a few disaffected in each party that go vote for the other guy. 9% is worrisome but not that big a deal this far out, especially when put up against a generic repub rather than a specific.
With that said, while I think Bennet will win, I also think Ken Buck will make him work his ass off for that win.
he makes it out of the primary
he doesn’t get hit by a comet, either.
Wade, your hysteria that 6 to 9 percent of Democrats — how’d you put it, all italicized? — would rather vote for a Republican than for him is misplaced. That’s a remarkably high level of party loyalty, especially for a candidate who hasn’t been around that long.
Last year, Mark Udall managed to beat Bob Schaffer even though 8 percent of Democrats said they’d vote for Bob Schaffer instead of Mark Udall. You don’t get much better party loyalty than that.

confident that Bennet has the primary won?
No, anything could happen, but if I had to bet right now, I’d say Bennet has better cards.
People can yell all they want that Bennet has never been “elected.” The point remains that most voters will view him as the incumbent. And that is a major advantage.
