Democratic Attorney General Bill Ritter leads Representative Bob Beauprez 43% to 38%, according to a Rasmussen poll released yesterday. In an April Rasmussen survey, Ritter trailed 37% to 39%.

The good poll news caps a successful month for Ritter on the fundraising front. In May Ritter raised more than his two Republican opponents, Beauprez and Marc Holtzman, combined, garnering $201,066 to Beauprez’s $99, 528 and Holtzman’s $81,559.
