It was a sunny Saturday in Denver and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet was in good spirits — better spirits than one might expect from someone whose job prospects come November were a bit bleaker tha…
46% of respondents would vote Bennet over O’Dea’s 35% — but 12% are undecided. Further, it found 44% of respondents were undecided on their opinion of the Republican construction company executive.
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., speaks alongside Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, White House Senior Advisor Mitch Landrieu, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., and Shoshana Lew, director of the Colorado Department of Transportation, at the construction site for the Central 70 Project in Denver on June 29, 2022.
It’s a stark turnaround in mood following a dour turn through the state earlier in the summer. Then, Bennet cast blame on the former president for the loss of national abortion protections and acknowledged how weak it felt to argue spiking inflation was an international problem and not something voters should punish in-power Democrats for.
O’Dea has said he supported the bipartisan infrastructure bill that passed last year, but after that, the list narrows. His website touts endorsements from gun rights groups, and he attacked the Inflation Reduction Act, which largely addresses climate change and health care issues, as something that “goes against everything that we believe in here in Colorado and trying to make it more affordable.
The U.S. Treasury Department generally estimates that every dollar invested in tax collection results in several more dollars recouped in otherwise owed taxes. But for O’Dea, who cites the national debt as a key issue, the extra agents aren’t worth the cost to taxpayers.
