Jane Norton 48%, Michael Bennet 39%; Ken Buck 48%, Bennet 42%

Republican Senate candidate Jane Norton beats appointed Obama Democrat 48% to 39%, and her opponent, Ken Buck, beats Bennet 48% to 42%. Norton beats Andrew Romanoff, 44% to 40% and Buck beats Romanoff 48% to 42%, according to Rasmussen Reports.

“Voters not affiliated with either party prefer the Republicans by double-digit margins to their Democratic opponents, Rasmussen said.

Independents decide close elections, and this is good news for the GOP candidate who wins the party’s Aug. 10 primary.

The GOP primary race is so close and moving so quickly with new attack ads and changes in the political environment that Rasmussen is calling it a toss-up. That seems about right.

CORRECTION: Rasmussen is calling the Colorado Senate race a toss-up, not the Colorado GOP primary race, which I think is also a toss-up. Link: Election 2010: Colorado Senate. Rasmussen Reports.
