GOP Senate candidate cites Romney for bad poll numbers
Posted by
CNN Political Reporter Peter Hamby
Washington (CNN) - A new poll out of Wisconsin this week shows Republican Senate candidate Tommy Thompson suddenly falling behind in his race against Democrat Tammy Baldwin.
Thompson is blaming the slip, in part, on the rocky campaign of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
"The presidential thing is bound to have an impact on every election," Thompson told Madison television station WKOW on Wednesday. "You know, whether you're a Democrat or Republican. If you're a standard-bearer for the presidency is not doing well, it's going to reflect on the down ballot."
The new poll - out Wednesday from Marquette University Law School - showed Thompson trailing Democrat Tammy Baldwin by nine points among likely voters in the Senate race, viewed as one of the most competitive in the country.

By this time next month i wouldn't be surprised if most of the Republicans deny knowledge that there's even a Presidential election this year.

It sure seems the tables have turned since. It woud be hard to come away from these last two conventions and want to vote for rMoney no matter if you were republicon or Democrat and I think the polls are showing that.

a big anvil, whose size keeps increasing every time Romney opens his mouth, being attached downticket.
