U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado has a modest lead over his Democratic primary challenger, former Speaker of the State House Andrew Romanoff, while on the Republican side, former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton is way ahead of the GOP field for that party's nomination, according to a Public Policy Polling survey conducted March 5-8.

Bennet leads Romanoff, 40 percent to 34 percent, with 26 percent undecided.

Norton leads her closest competitor, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, by 34 percent to 17 percent, with 32 percent undecided and all other candidates in single digits.

A PPP poll released last week said that in a general election match-up, Bennet was tied with Norton at 43 percent each, with 14 percent undecided, and Romanoff led Norton by 44 percent to 39 percent, with 17 percent undecided.

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Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
