Poll: Obama’s Lead Falls To 3 In Colorado
TOM KLUDT OCTOBER 18, 2012 President Barack Obama’s lead in Colorado is down to 3, according to a survey from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling released Thursday.
The poll shows Obama leading Romney among likely voters in the state 50 percent to 47 percent. That’s the president’s smallest lead in PPP’s polling of the Centennial State all year and a dip from the 6-point lead he held prior to the first presidential debate in Denver earlier this month.
Along with Obama’s lead being sliced in half, Romney’s personal popularity among Colorado voters has also improved since the previous PPP survey in late-September. Although it remains under water, Romney’s favorability rating has seen a 5-point improvement during the last three weeks: 48 percent of Colorado voters now have a favorable view of the Republican nominee, while 49 percent have an unfavorable view. Obama’s approval rating has inched slightly downward, going from 50 percent to 49 percent in Thursday’s poll.
The poll shows a yawning generational gap in Colorado. Romney leads among the state’s senior citizens 55 percent to 43 percent, while Obama claims a cumulative lead among all other age groups, 51 percent to 46 percent. The president holds a narrow 3-point lead among Colorado women, while Romney edges Obama by 2 points among men. And in a state widely known for its independent streak, Obama leads Romney by 9 points among unaffiliated voters in Colorado.

I hope you are correct.
Mega Dittos.
More men too, I believe. Women +6 in this sample.
In 2008, it was 50-50 men and women
The one two punch from the left and then the death blow. They say anything they want (punch#1) and the meathead media covers for them (punch#2) then the death blow. Two below the belt sucker punches. The right-wingers want to throw grandma out on the street and let poor people starve.
Or, simular combo. (punch#3)
Works almost everytime.
Especially, if the Ref is crooked.
Well, so much for the idea that Romney and Ryan presenting a plan to reform Medicare and Social Security was going to let the Dems scare seniors into voting for Obama in crucial swing states.
Good, CODE PINK deployed to Iran,Libya and Syria

With the Feds already having written 13,000 regulations for Obamacare, people better wake up.
OK. So you are OK with a 21 year old serving in the military not being allowed to vote?

I agree with you on citizenship and being “alive” and paying income tax, but I currently live in an apartment and I pay rent and I pay property taxes, it’s factored into my rent. A lot of people rent and not all of us do so because we are slackers or on the dole. I pay a good amount in taxes as I don’t get the mortgage tax deduction as I did when I owned a home. Just saying.
Hey according to RCP it shows Romney at 47.9 annd Obama at 47.7 what gives?
If you think this is a bad news thread, you may like to get some help.
I am sick of these garbage polls.
