Forty-nine percent disapproved of the way he is doing his job compared to 41 percent who gave him positive marks, with 9 percent undecided. In January, he had a positive favorable-to-unfavorable ration of 47 percent to 40 percent.
As with PPP's poll on Sen. Michael Bennet, who Ritter appointed to fill the seat of Ken Salazar (Barack Obama's pick for Interior Secretary), Ritter is not doing well among Hispanic voters who may be unhappy that he did not pick one of them to follow Salazar. His approval rating among Hispanics is 47 percent negative, 46 percent positive.
In match-ups against potential Republican opponents:
Former Rep. Scott McInnis leads Ritter 48 percent to 41 percent with 11 percent undecided even though 40 percent of voters don't know enough about him to form an opinion, compared to only 9 percent who don't know enough about Ritter.
Ritter leads State Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry by 42 percent to 40 percent with 18 percent undecided, but that's within the poll's 3 point margin of error.
