Obama up in CO according to republican leaning pollster

Gravis has Obama up 48.4 to 46.

Not bad considering the source

Also, even though ppp leans dem and they show Romney up by one in fl, they only do robo polls in English. Not sure they get the full breadth of Hispanic vote per Nate silver's post yesterday.

So I would not give Gravis the time of the day - Obama is +8 in Colorado, and has locked Colorado down.

Volunteers are given names of people to call. Most are not home, some say they are voting Repub, but many say they are voting Obama. One woman said that if her husband didn't vote for Obama, he was in big trouble!
