Post-Debate Colorado Polls Shows 4-Point Obama Lead
Kyle Leighton
President Obama has a 4-point lead in Colorado, 47 percent to Republican candidate Mitt Romney's 43 percent, in a new live-caller poll of Colorado. Eighty-one percent of likely voters watched the first presidential debate, held on Wednesday in Denver, and 68 percent of those polled said Romney won against only 19 percent who said Obama was victorious.
The numbers showed improvement in Romney's personal rating, but he still faces a big challenge there -- a majority of 51 percent still have an unfavorable few of him, versus 47 percent with a favorable one. The former governor has stuggled on his favorability rating in Colorado thorughout the campaign.

Evidently, the emotional rating of the Romney's performance hasn't helped him.

OP
Romney's performance at the debate is one of the most overhyped non-events of the campaign.

It was a dull debate. Obama was lethargic, yes, but Romney only looked good by comparison.
