Poll: Colorado Senate Matchups

PPP is out with a poll of a set of hypothetical general election matchups to fill Ken Salazar's vacant seat in the Senate. The four potential candidates included in the poll were Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper (D), Rep. John Salazar (D), former Gov. Bill Owens (R), and outgoing Rep. Tom Tancredo.


John Hickenlooper--54%
Bill Owens--40%


John Salazar--52%
Bill Owens--43%


John Hickenlooper--54%
Tom Tancredo--37%


John Salazar--53%
Tom Tancredo--40%


From these numbers, it looks like John Hickenlooper would more electable than John Salazar against either Republican candidate. Hickenlooper is also the top choice among Coloradoans to be appointed as the state's new Senator. Here are those results from that PPP poll.


John Hickenlooper--23%
John Salazar--15%
Andrew Romanoff--12%
Federico Pena--11%
Diana Degette--8%
Ed Perlmutter--6%
Cary Kennedy--2%


Did these numbers from PPP just make Democratic Governor Bill Ritter's appointment decision a whole lot easier? Stay tuned.
