Read all about it here: http://www.rasmussenreports.co…

BUT, for the impatient:

Romanoff’s positive net margin in the “very” categories in January is +2; Bennet’s is -13. Put another way, Romanoff is 15 points ahead in the “very” category. In the last three Rasmuissen polls, Romanoff’s lead over Bennet in the “very” categories has gone from 3 to 10 to the current 15.

For those wondering about the significance of the “very” categories, BTW, ColoradoPols explained it on Jan. 7:

The only numbers that matter at this point in any race are “very favorable” and “very unfavorable,” because most voters aren’t paying any attention whatsoever. The “very favorable” and “very unfavorable” numbers are a decent barometer of what the voters who ARE paying attention are thinking. http://www.coloradopols.com/sh…

In the “bottom line” whodjalike category, both Romanoff and Bennet trail Norton by 12 points. For those keeping track, the previous Rasmussen had suggested Bennet was ahead of Romanoff by a couple of points, well inside the margin of error, but who’s looking at the details?

Interesting to note that the Rasmussen numbers have been about for about half a day…not enough time for BennetPols.com to get ‘rouond to reporting them… too busy scanning the net for some anti-Romanoff dreck, e.g. from Politico.
