Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet is trailing in his reelection bid by double digits, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey that shows him losing by 14 percentage points to Republican Jane Norton.
Norton, the state's former lieutenant governor, is up over Bennet by a margin of 51 percent to 37 percent, with 7 percent undecided. Norton's edge has grown slightly since last month, when she held a 12-point lead.
The poll also shows Bennet losing to two other Republican contenders, former state Sen. Tom Wiens and Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck.
Former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, who's challenging Bennet in the Democratic primary, runs closer to Norton in the poll, losing by only 7 points.
Bennet's reelection hopes will get a boost later this month, when President Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Denver to raise money for him. Obama plans to speak at two fundraisers on Feb. 17.

Jane Norton is a great candidate for Colorado and for all citizens who want a stronger voice for CO in Washington. Go Jane!
