UT: Bennett is Safe

A new Research 2000 poll confirms that Sen. Robert Bennett (R-UT) is firmly entrenched is his ruby red state of Utah, and will have an easy time being reelected in 2010.

The poll tested Bennett against Rep. Jim Matheson (D-UT), legendary Jeopardy contestant Ken Jennings (D), Attorney David Leavitt (R), and state Attorney Gen. Mark Shurtleff (R). Here are the numbers:

Bennett--55%
Matheson--32%

Bennett--57%
Jennings--21%

Bennett--44%
Leavitt--23%

Bennett--46%
Shurtleff--20%

Bottom line? Bennett has nothing to worry about.

Oh, and Research 2000: you had to put Ken Jennings in there? Seriously? How about some mayors or former mayors of Salt Lake City next time?
