Two-time Super Bowl winner John Elway's name has been bandied about as a challenger for the Colorado Senate seat held by first-term Democrat Ken Salazar in 2010, but as of now, the former Denver Bronco quarterback, who campaigned in the state for John McCain during this year's presidential race, trails 49 percent to 38 percent with 13 percent undecided in a Research 2000 poll conducted Dec. 2-4. Former Rep. Tom Tancredo, who dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination before the first caucus or primary vote was cast, fares worse with Salazar leading 51 percent to 37 percent and 12 percent undecided.
Eye on the Senate: Elway Starts in Bad Field Position Against Salazar
Research 2000 also tested a 2010 match-up in Missouri between four-term Republican Senator Christopher Bond and Democrat Robin Carnahan, who was re-elected this year with 62 percent of the vote. Bond leads Carnahan by a bare 47 percent to 43 percent with 10 percent undecided in a survey conducted Dec. 2-4. Bond's favorable-to-unfavorable ratio is 49 percent to 43 percent while Carnahan's is 48 percent to 26 percent with 26 percent having no opinion.
