(CNN) – Earlier this year Republicans were hoping to win back both a Senate seat and the governor's office in Colorado, but thanks to divisions in the GOP, a new poll suggests that the governor's office may be out of reach.
According to a CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday, 47 percent of likely voters in Colorado support Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the Democrat's gubernatorial nominee, with 21 percent backing GOP nominee Dan Maes, and 29 percent supporting former Rep. and 2008 GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo, who is running as the American Constitution Party's nominee.
Maes, who enjoys the backing of some in the Tea Party movement, narrowly beat former U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis in the GOP primary last month despite several campaign controversies. After his victory, he faced calls by many prominent Republicans in his state to step down, and national Republicans seem to have washed their hands of the race.
(CNN) - A new poll indicates that Sen. Patty Murray of Washington leads her Republican challenger Dino Rossi by nine points.
According to CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday, 53 percent of likely voters in Washington State back the three term senator, with 44 percent supporting Rossi, who was the GOP gubernatorial nominee in 2004 and 2008.
While the poll indicates that the two candidates are splitting the independent vote, Murray holds an overwhelming lead among members of her own party -Democrats– who outnumber Republicans in the state.
"The state of Washington has been considered pretty blue in recent elections and Murray is capitalizing on that. She is winning support from 95 percent of self-identified Democrats," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "And 93 percent of Republicans support Rossi, showing how polarized the electorate is - a consequence of the two extremely close gubernatorial races that Rossi ran in 2004 and 2008."
