On Sights Public Affairs Poll of Colorado Obama 48% Romney 45%

DENVER — New numbers from OnSight Public Affairs and pollster Chris Keating show President Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney 48-45 percent in a survey of 502 likely Colorado voters.

Obama’s lead is driven by a 52-38 percent advantage with unaffiliated voters, the state’s largest voting bloc.

“In Colorado, it always comes down to who can appeal to the unaffiliated voters,” said Keating. “They are now the largest voting block in the state and the candidate who wins them over is almost certain to take the state.”

Keating’s survey, conducted with live interviews Tuesday and Wednesday as both candidates were stumping in the state, also has Obama leading by 10 points in the Colorado’s two most important swing counties, Arapahoe and Jefferson; and he continues to hold a significant, 52-41 percent advantage among women.

The President also holds a nearly 4-to-1 advantage among Hispanic voters.

Romney, meanwhile, leads by 10 points with men, 52-42 percent.
