Still better than Bennet has been doing. Bennet has been a pretty great Senator, so I'm kind of conflicted about the primary here.

Why's Bennett suddenly doing better? Is it that people are learning more about Norton?

You entered the wrong poll. The data page now shows Bennett with a 5 point lead over Norton, which isn't the case. Why wouldn't you just post the 43/43?

He's terrible for this state, though. I expect him to lose handily if he wins the primary. Only Romanoff can make this a race IMO.

By the way, while approval polls have largely remained static, it is interesting to note that Democrats' numbers seem to have been improving this past week or so.

We are starting to see the Democratic Summer bump. It happens every election cycle.

It's the poll, not the pol.  Bennet is still very unpopular and Jane Norton still has the inside track to victory in November.  PPP also had Hickenlooper up by 11 points which is ridiculous.  If he's up at all--and I doubt that he is--Hick leads by a point or two.  It looks more like PPP is trying to cheerlead their candidates rather than do an accurate poll.  Which is fine, I suppose, and I'm sure it will work and result in a few extra bucks for each campaign.  But if you want to know the real numbers you should probably throw the Rasmussen numbers together with the PPP numbers and give the Rasmussen poll a little more weight.  What's the result?  McInnis up by a point and Norton up by a handful.  Given the political environment in Colorado (and nationally), that sounds pretty accurate to me.

Of course. The rich Republicans have decamped to their summer spas, and when the phone rings at their official residence with the pollster drone at the other end of the line, one of their caretakers answer the phone, and pretends to be the actual owner of the place, and of course gives Dem oriented responses, because they are illegal aliens. The pollster drone at the other end of the line, doesn't realize that something might be amiss because of the minimal mastery of English from the responder. I hope that helps explain it all.

Democrats were cursed by an 80 year-old Indian witchdoctor, thus their bump will always come months before the actual election.

It's a little-known fact that the United States is actually in the Southern Hemisphere.

You do know that the Earth changes its axis tilt from time to time don't you?  I mean, when the dinosaurs lived at what is now the north pole (well if not the Barney Rubble with his pet dino, at least plants that loved warm weather, and hated frost bite), it was not all due to global warming.

I´m basing this on the fact that Romanoff seems to be more popular with Democrats right now than Bennet is and that he`s therefore more likely to win the primary. Against Norton, Bennet loses more than 10% of Democrats to Norton, while Romanoff only loses about 5%.

Don`t worry really, on Monday PPP is out with the primary numbers: If they show Bennet ahead I´ll change the polls in the database and future polls in favor of Bennet.

Alot of these GOP challengers are from the previous Bush administration Thompson, Norton, Portman.  Alot of people did have real concerns about Obama moving in a more liberal direction from the previous administration.  But now, I don't think the public wanted to go back either.

It will be interesting to see how well third parties and independents do this year.

So I'm not the only one with this theory. ;)

BTW: Love the new sig cartoon, Vepres!

You are mistaken Jane Norton for Gale Norton. Two different Republicans, not related to each other but both are from Colorado. Jane was the Lieutenant Governor from 1999-2007 under Governor Bill Owens.

Maybe McInnis should have ran for Senate and then Norton for Governor.

What's really the difference though? Isn't Romanoff slightly to the left of Bennet, if anything?
