Colorado: Obama 48% McCain 42%

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Barack Obama has opened a modest lead over John McCain in Colorado.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows Obama leading 48% to 42%. That six-point advantage is up from a three-point edge a month ago. The month before that, Obama and McCain were tied in the race for the Colorado’s Electoral College Votes.

Obama’s 48% level of support in the current poll is up two points from the 46% level of support he picked up in each of the three preceding polls. Over the last four months of polling, McCain’s support in Colorado has ranged from 39% to 46%.

Obama now attracts 77% of the vote from Democrats while McCain earns 79% support from Republicans. Among unaffiliated voters, Obama leads by twenty-one percentage points. A month ago, Obama had a ten-point lead among unaffiliated voters.

Obama is viewed favorably by 55% of Colorado voters, up two points from a month ago. McCain is viewed favorably by 51%, down six points from a month ago.

:sarcasm: So many white people, so little time . . . .

..if the polling firms could be missing the increased voter participation that seems to be happening?

I know close to nothing about their models, but something tells me they might somewhat outdated, if they are put together based on older demographics, rather than complete randomness.

Could be way off though.

Gee, then HRC was not telling us "the truth" after all?

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

I hate to keep repeating this but it is instructive......
