RAS Poll: Colorado Obama 50% (+4) McCain 47% (-1)

[WI_DEM]

This week in Colorado, it’s Barack Obama with a modest lead over John McCain.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds the Obama attracting 50% of the vote while McCain earns 47% (crosstabs available for Premium Members). A week ago, McCain had a two-point advantage. Over last four Colorado polls, each candidate has had a slight advantage twice and the two men have never been more than three percentage points apart.

In fact, the race in Colorado has been close since tracking began back in February, with the biggest advantage for either candidate being Obama’s 49% to 42% edge in July. Nationally, the race remains close in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll (sign up for a free daily e-mail update).

Both candidates are viewed favorably by 56% of Colorado voters, but Obama does better among unaffiliated voters.
