Former Republican Rep. Scott McInnis is leading first-term Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter 48 percent to 40 percent, with 4 percent preferring some other candidate and 7 percent undecided, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Dec. 10. The margin of error is 4.5 points.

Ritter, like many other governors, has suffered from the impact of the recession on his state's economy and budget.

McInnis is being challenged on the Republican side by businessman Dan Maes, a favorite of many Tea Party activists.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
