As a barometer of Democratic prospects for the 2006 Congressional elections, I am pleased to note that Utah’s lone Democratic congressman, Jim Matheson, looks to be in good shape. The Deseret News reports

Matheson, who wants a fourth term, is a Democrat in a GOP-leaning 2nd District who gets an impressive 58 percent support. Matheson, who describes himself as fiscally conservative, has more impressive numbers for a congressional Democrat in Utah: • He gets 37 percent of the Republican vote, compared to only 27 percent by state Rep. LaVar Christensen, R-Draper; • He gets 91 percent of the Democratic vote and 75 percent of the independent vote; • And he gets 51 percent of the LDS vote.
