It’s almost certain that Utah will have a new U.S. Senator next year.
Three-term incumbent Robert Bennett sought a fourth term, but despite his generally conservative voting record and endorsementa from Mitt Romney and the National Rifle Association, he didn’t get enough votes at the state Republican convention to get on the primary ballot.
Given that Utah is about as red as a state can get, the GOP primary winner, either Mike Lee or Tim Bridgweater, will almost certainly be the next senator. There is a Democratic nominee, Sam Granato, who chairs the state liquor commission.
State election rules prevent Bennett from running as an independent in November, although a write-in campaign is a possibility.

Congress’ top leaders are feeling the heat from voters this month, as a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows three of the four reaching or matching their highest unfavorable ratings of the past year.
Undoubtedly driven in part by her continuing efforts to pass the national health care plan, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains the most unpopular congressional leader, as she has for months. Pelosi is now viewed unfavorably by 64% of voters, which ties a high reached in August. That number includes 47% with a very unfavorable opinion of the California Democrat. Twenty-nine percent (29%) have a favorable view of her. Just seven percent (7%) of voters have no opinion of Pelosi.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is now viewed at least somewhat unfavorably by 56% of voters. That’s up 14 points from a year ago and the highest level measured since regular tracking began last February. That includes 35% with a very unfavorable view. Twenty-four percent (24%) view Reid favorably, the lowest level found since December. Twenty percent (20%) have no opinion of the majority leader.
Reid, who is leading the charge for the health care plan in the Senate, is facing trouble at home. The longtime Nevada senator trails three top Republicans in his bid for reelection this November.
Forty-two percent (42%) of voters nationally favor the health care plan working its way through Congress, while 53% oppose it. These views have remained largely unchanged since Thanksgiving.
But Democratic leaders are not the only ones facing harsher criticism from voters. House Minority Leader John Boehner is now viewed unfavorably by 41% of voters, tying his highest unfavorable rating reached last September. That includes 17% with a very unfavorable view of the Ohio Republican. Twenty-five percent (25%) regard Boehner favorably, but another 34% of voters don’t know him well enough to voice an opinion.
After Evan Bayh announced his retirement, 2 Republicans and 1 Democrat, are running to win this seat. According to Rasmussen Reports, two of the three top Republican hopefuls for the U.S. Senate in Indiana continue to hold double-digit leads over Democratic Congressman Brad Ellsworth. Ellsworth supported President Obama’s health care plan in a state where opposition to the legislation is higher than it is nationally.
