Ken Buck's Lead Erodes In Another Poll

Another Poll Also Shows Buck's Lead Eroding

A Rasmussen poll showing Colorado Senator Michael Bennet inching closer to Republican challenger Ken Buck is proving to be more than just an outlier.

A Fox News/Pulse Opinion research poll performed over the weekend and released Tuesday shows Buck leading by just one point (46-45) among likely voters. A Fox News/Pulse poll performed in late September had Buck up by 4 points, 47-43.

In the latest Fox poll, Bennet leads among women 48-41, while Buck leads 50-42 among men. Bennet also holds a commanding lead among younger voters, polling at 50% among 18-39-year-olds. Buck holds a commanding lead among seniors.

Buck spent much of last week fending off attacks that he acted insensitively when he declined to take an alleged date rape case to jury as Weld County DA.

Colorado has drawn intense national interest this campaign season. Already determined to be the nation's biggest target for independent political groups, the state saw the amount of outside money thrown at political races double to $23 million last week.
