PPP Colorado Poll: Obama 51 (+4), McCain 44 (-2)

[MadBadger]

Sarah Palin's popularity with Colorado voters over the last couple weeks has plummeted, and as it has Barack Obama has opened up his biggest lead yet in a PPP survey of the state.

Immediately after the Republican convention 41% of Coloradoans said John McCain's choice of Palin to join him on the ticket made them more likely to vote for him while 38% said it made them less likely to do so. Now the number of people saying Palin's selection makes them less likely to vote for McCain has climbed to 47% with the number of people viewing it favorably dropping to 38%.

The movement over the last couple weeks has been particularly acute with independent voters. 56% of them say that the Palin choice makes them less likely to support McCain and what was a 49-38 lead for Obama with that group is now a 58-31 advantage.

Obama's margin with Hispanics is pretty steady since the previous poll, but he has improved from a six point deficit to a one point lead with white voters.

6. CO wins this election, folks, along with IA and NM

States like NV, VA are looking very good and we have at least a 50-50 shot with OH and FL.

MO, MT, IN, NC and a couple others may be a bit of a climb but I'd rather be Obama looking at these numbers than McCain.
