This is a scathing poll for Senator Bob Bennett. From the Deseret News [emphasis mine]:

Two of every three Utahns want to see Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, ousted in his re-election bid next year.
However, all of the challengers seeking to unseat him currently trail far behind him anyway, and are bunched together with none emerging yet as the front-runner opponent, according to a new poll conducted for the Deseret News and KSL-TV by Dan Jones & Associates.
[...]"There is great dissatisfaction among the general public" about Bennett, Jones said. "But right now, nobody is ahead of him," so "if the election were held today, it's still his to lose."
When those polled were asked if they want Bennett to be re-elected next year, or if it is time to give someone new a chance, just 27 percent favored his re-election and 58 percent wanted someone new.
"That is very low. Normally, that's between 42 and 44 percent" in such questions for candidates considered to have good chances at re-election, Jones said.
