The Colorado Senate race looks like a toss up, with incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet and Republican challenger Jane Norton knotted at 43.

Neither of the leading candidates is particularly popular. Bennet’s approval rating is 32%, with 46% of voters disapproving of him. Norton’s not a whole lot better with 35% of respondents having an unfavorable opinion of her to only 25% who view her positively. Both candidates are in the red with independent voters.

Norton leads Bennet 44-35 with independents, but Bennet is getting 79% of the Democratic vote while Norton is currently at just 77% of the Republican vote, leading to the overall tie.

Bennet primary challenger Andrew Romanoff actually leads Norton by a 44-39 margin, as he loses only 6% of the Democratic vote (compared to Bennet’s 11%) and holds Norton to a 4 point advantage with independents.
