Title: CO-PPP: Hick very strong, Senators on good ground Post by: Miles on August 12, 2011, 02:37:13 PM "John Hickenlooper...is the third most popular current governor on which PPP has polled."
Do you approve of John Hickenlooper's performance as Governor? Yes- 54% No- 24% Do you approve of Senator Michael Bennet's performance? Yes- 44% No- 36% Do you approve of Senator Mark Udall's performance? Yes- 45% No- 34% Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Ken Buck? Favorable- 25% Unfavorable- 46% 2010 Senate Rematch: Bennet (D)- 55% Buck (R)- 38% http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_CO_0811925.pdf Title: Re: CO-PPP: Hick very strong, Senators on good ground Post by: The_Texas_Libertarian on August 25, 2011, 04:13:46 PM Whoa what a poll. Those Bennett v. Buck numbers show how the negative tea party numbers can really negatively impact their candidates now. Bennett only won by a small margin in 2010 and now its much higher

Title: Re: CO-PPP: Hick very strong, Senators on good ground Post by: Verily on August 25, 2011, 08:26:54 PM Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but what has Ken Buck been doing to make himself so unpopular? I mean, I know he was never particularly loved, but I thought he basically disappeared from the scene after losing the Senate race. How do so many people care about him enough to have a negative opinion?

I mean, I know he was never particularly loved, but I thought he basically disappeared from the scene after losing the Senate race. How do so many people care about him enough to have a negative opinion? I'm not sure, but on election day, Buck wasn't horribly unpopular; he only had a 44/48 favorable rating.

Here is a comparison between the latest voter registration numbers (http://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/VoterRegNumbers/2011/July/VotersByPartyStatus.pdf) and PPPs numbers:
Party PPP Registration Democrat 41 % 33 % Republican 33 38 Others 26 29 Title: Re: CO-PPP: Hick very strong, Senators on good ground Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on August 26, 2011, 03:56:33 PM Wait, how did the GOP regain so much ground, I thought they were down to a 1 pt lead in registration?

The table in the link that CARLHAYDEN posted shows that whoever compiled these data differentiated between "active" and "inactive" registered voters. If you only look at the "active" voters, the gap between the Republicans and the Democrats is larger than if you count both "active" and "inactive" registered voters. Maybe that's the reason. |
