A new Rasmussen poll of the Colorado Senate race shows Republican nominee Ken Buck starting out the general election with a lead over Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet.
The numbers: Buck 46%, Bennet 41%. The survey of likely voters was conducted Wednesday, the day after Bennet and Buck each won their heated primaries, and has a ±4% margin of error. In the previous Rasmussen poll from two weeks ago, Buck led Bennet by 48%-42%.
The TPM Poll Average gives Buck a lead of 45.7%-42.8%.
