President Obama isn't
the only one tanking in the polls. While a new CBS
poll out today does show Obama dipping to an all-time low 37 percent
approval rating, state polling out of Colorado and Michigan shows the damage is
spreading to Democrats down ballot as well.
In Michigan, a new Lambert,
Edwards & Associates and Denno Research pollshows Democrat Rep. Gary
Peters holding a narrow one-point advantage over Republican former two-term
Michigan secretary of state Terri Lynn Land. Just last month, and Inside
Michigan Politics poll showed Peters up by 5. Democrats have controlled both
U.S. Senate seats for 14 years.
The results are even
more dramatic in Colorado, where Sen. Mark Udall was up on Republican District
Attorney Ken Buck by 15
points just last month. Now, a newQuinnipiac
University poll shows Udall up by just 3. And voters tell Quinnipiac, by a
47 to 41 percent margin, that Udall does not deserve reelection.
Republicans need to pick up just 6 seats to take control of the Senate in 2014. They already have strong leads in the currently Democratic-held states of Montana, South Dakota, and West Virginia.
