Ken Buck Leads Bennet 49-40 in Reuters Colo. Senate Poll

by | 3:26 pm, August 25, 2010 | 1 Comment

In a poll released today,  Reuters/Ipsos reports Colorado Republican Ken Buck leads appointed Democrat Senator Michael Bennet 49-40 percent.  The poll has a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.  The Reuters surveys tend to be liberal leaning, so the news bodes well for the Buck campaign’s  focus on Bennet’s “rubber stamp” support for Barack Obama’s failed economic policies.

The Reuters poll also shows a jump for Buck since the Rasumussen survey conducted on August 11, the day after the primary.  That poll, with the same margin of error, showed Buck with a 46-41 lead over  the appointed Democrat incumbent  Bennet.

    Laura:
    Some other projections. Nate Silver at the NY Times gives Buck a 69% chance of taking the seat and has it listed as the 5th most likely seat to switch parties. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/25/new-forecast-shows-democrats-losing-6-to-7-senate-seats/

    The “summer of recovery” sure looks like the summer of discontent out there. Having someone who voted for trillions in deficits admit there is nothing to show for it, would cause anybody in the middle to ask, why would I want six more years of that?

    There is a lot of work to do and it is early in the game but it is nice to be ahead at the first corner, rather than behind.
