CO split on Hickenlooper/ Udall, GOP inclined to run 2010 candidates

Raleigi h, N.C. – PPP's new Colorado poll finds voters closely divided in their feelings about both Governor John Hickenlooper and Senator Mark Udall- but also that this could prove to be another place where Republicans waste an opportuniity by running the wrong candidate.

In 2010 Hickenlooper defeated Tom Tancredo by 15 points. Yet despite having half a dozen candidates to choose from next year, Republicans are still leaning toward nominating Tancredo again. He gets 34% support among GOP prrimary voters to 15% for Scott Gessler, and 9% for Greg Brophy with the others at 3% or less.

Voters are pretty split in their opinions about Hickennlooper with 45% approving of him to 48% who disapprove. But in a head to head match up with Tancredo he still leads by 8 points at 48/40. He has similar margins against Mikee Kopp (45/37) and Scott Gessler (47/40). The Republican who comes closest, despite having minimal name recognition, is actually Greg Brophy at 44/43.

We're seeing a similar story in the Colorado Senate race. Ken Buck proved to be a very poor candidate against Michael Bennet in 2010 and lost a contest Republicans were generally expected to win all year long. And now GOP voters are ready to run him again- 45% say he's their choice for Senate candidate to just 8% for Randy Baumgardner, 7% for Amy Stephens, and 2% or less for the others.

Voters have mixed feelings about Mark Udall- 40% approve of him and 41% disapprove. But thanks to the weak field opposing him he still leads by anywhere from 4 to 7 points against his potential Republican foes. It's 46/42 over Buck, 47/40 over Baumgardner, and 44/37 over both Hill and Stephens.

“The rough last couple months for Democrats have certainly put John Hickenlooper and Mark Udall in a position where they could be vulnerable next yeaar,” said Deaan Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “It's just not clearr whether the GOP is going to put forth candidates who can take advantage of that vulnnerability.”

PPP surveyed 928 Colorado voters, including 355 usual Republican primary voters, from December 3rd to 4th. The margin of error for the overall survey is +/- 3..2% and +/-5.2% for the GOP sample. PPP’s surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews.
