Colorado
[Romney’s up 49-46 with men, 49-47 with white voters, and 51-46 with voters over 45. ]
These numbers are fishy. Where did they poll? Boulder?
I agree. Michigan and Pennsylvania voters can't bring themselves to make that leap of faith to the light, apparently. Change is hard for those who have become conditioned to believe they're more secure and protected with a democrat in the White House.
By contrast, because Colorado only slid to to the darkside last election, its voters might be more willing to set themselves right. Ditto for here in Virginia and in NC and FL.
Across the board, even with Rasmussen, the key phrase is “Obama is up” in these swing states.With unemployment >8.3% for forever, gas $4+/gal everywhere but New Jersey, the debt passing $16 T, and the middle east and central Asia about to go boom, the idea that Obama is leading is astonishing. In a sane world Donald Duck would have a 10 point lead. Why? I think people don’t want to believe their ‘08 vote for history failed. Too many accept either the Bush’s fault or Republicans are only for the rich memes,or maybe the Paulites and ideologically pure conservatives really are going to teach the GOP a lesson and stay home. Whatever the reason, Nov 6 is not looking too promising.
Um no Rassmussen has Obama down in his swing state poll
Obayma is up by that much if you only involve democrats in the poll. from Michigan.
Sorry for the delay. CO Dems are better organized than the R’s here. But I think it’s a lot closer than this poll indicates. There’s just too much dissatisfaction here for zero. There are even a number of Libertarians who will vote Romney just because it’s so close and it’s a choice between capitalism versus socialism.
