Matheson way out front
Demo leads his potential GOP rivals by 28-42 points
The polls show Matheson ahead of his GOP rivals by 28 to 42 percentage points.
"I am really pleased with those numbers," Matheson said. "I see them as a validation of the kind of congressman I am, that I work hard and stand up for our state."
Matheson said he expects the race will be very close come the November election, and he is not taking anything for granted.
The poll of registered voters found that Matheson would fare well regardless of who his Republican opponent is. In a head-to-head with Swallow, Matheson garnered 57 percent to Swallow's 29 percent.
Swallow called the numbers "encouraging" in 2002 he started his campaign 31 points down to Matheson.
