Filed under: Polls, Poll Watch, 2010 ElectionsFifty-eight percent of Utah residents say their three-term Republican senator, Robert Bennett, should not get a fourth term. But what might save him is the fact that no strong challengers have emerged, according to a Deseret News/KSL-TV poll conducted Nov. 19-23."There is great dissatisfaction among the general public" about Bennett, said pollster Dan Jones. "But right now, nobody is ahead of him," so "if the election were held today, it's still his to lose."
Asked if they wanted to see Bennett re-elected next year, 58 percent said it was time to give someone else a chance, while 27 percent said they support him.
The News said that while conservatives have grumbled that Bennett is not conservative enough, the sentiment to dump him is similar across ideological lines. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
