Idaho Senator Jim Risch’s cruise to easy re-election might not be the lock Republicans would like to think.

A poll of 773 Idaho voters (the margin of error is +/- 3.5 percent) during late February by Public Policy Polling revealed some potential problems for the often acerbic, staunchly conservative senator who is the 15th wealthiest member of Congress.

The numbers have to be heartening for Risch challenger Nels Mitchell, a successful Boise-raised attorney seeking his first public office.

There are two key numbers that incumbents, pundits and lobbyists give careful scrutiny: the favorability number and the re-elect number. In Risch’s case, both signal potential problems.

I will sprout wings and fly before Risch loses reelection to a Democrat.
