New Poll: Obama leading by seven in Colorado

[book_worm]

In Colorado, Barack Obama leads Republican John McCain by seven percentage points, 49% to 42%. However, when leaners are included, McCain is more competitive and pulls to within three points, 50% to 47%.

A month ago, the race was a toss-up, but two months ago Obama led by six.

Obama now attracts the votes from 87% of Democrats, that up ten points over the past month. McCain earns the vote from 88% of Republicans, a six-point gain over the past month. Among unaffiliated voters, Obama leads by just four points. That’s down from seventeen points a month ago.

Although Obama leads in the polling, McCain is better liked—61% of Colorado voters have a favorable opinion of the southwestern Senator. Just 52% have a similar opinion about the Senator from Illinois.

2. Rasmussen expects us to believe there is a double digit difference between Colorado

and Ohio? I just don't buy it.

3. I think Colorado, Iowa, Ohio and Virginia will give Obama the presidency.

Any extra states are just icing on the cake.
