NORTON STRETCHES LEAD OVER BENNET: Former Republican Lt. Gov. Jane Norton has grown her lead over appointed Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo. to 14 percentage points, 51 percent to 37 percent, according to Rasmussen Reports. But Norton runs just seven points ahead of Andrew Romanoff, a former state House Speaker who is challenging Bennet for the Democratic Senate nomination, 45 percent to 38 percent. In January, Norton had a 12-point lead, 47 percent to 35 percent, over Romanoff. For the two most prominent Republicans challenging Norton for their party’s nomination, ex-state Senator Tom Wiens and Ken Buck, a country district attorney, the contest with either Democrat is much closer. Wiens leads Bennet 45 percent to 40 percent and is in a virtual tie with Romanoff, 42 percent to 40 percent. Buck for now beats Bennet 45 percent to 41 percent and Romanoff 45 percent to 39 percent. According to the poll, 53 percent of Coloradans disapprove of President Obama, who will make a cameo in Colorado on Feb. 18 to stump for Bennet.
