Washington, D.C. – Failed presidential candidate Michael Bennet is in mile-high trouble in Colorado.
Earlier this week, a reputable poll was released that showed Bennet trailing a generic Republican opponent.
Last night, National Journal put the Colorado Senate race in its top 10 Senate Power rankings, saying:
The last time Republicans benefited from a big wave election in 2014, Colorado was one of the biggest surprise pickups for the party. Bennet will need to be wary that he doesn’t suffer the same fate as former Sen. Mark Udall, who spent too much time messaging to his base at the expense of the state’s sizable share of independent voters. A reputable Republican poll released this month showed Bennet trailing a generic Republican by one point, a sign that he faces the likelihood of a competitive race. But so far, none of his Republican challengers have stood out—a dynamic that may change as the primaries get closer.
The tide is turning, and it’s not looking good at all for Michael Bennet.
