Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet is losing to all three of his Republican challengers, according to a new Rasmussen survey, another sign that 2010 is shaping up to be a very tough year for Democratic incumbents.
Bennet is now the fifth Democratic senator to be trailing Republican opposition in recent public polls, joining Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Sens. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.

In the poll, former Colorado Lt. Gov. Jane Norton leads Bennet by 9 percentage points, besting him 46 percent to 37 percent. In another worrisome sign for Bennet, even the lesser-known Republicans in the Senate race, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck and former state Sen. Tom Wiens, are leading the senator.
