Quote:
Obama now attracts the votes from 87% of Democrats, that up ten points over the past month. McCain earns the vote from 88% of Republicans, a six-point gain over the past month. Among unaffiliated voters, Obama leads by just four points. That’s down from seventeen points a month ago.Although Obama leads in the polling, McCain is better liked—61% of Colorado voters have a favorable opinion of the southwestern Senator. Just 52% have a similar opinion about the Senator from Illinois.
Forty-eight percent (48%) of Colorado voters believe most reporters are trying to help Barack Obama win the election. Just 11% believe the reporters are trying to help McCain and only 24% believe the journalists are trying to provide unbiased coverage. The national figures are very similar.
Colorado has gone Republican in the last three presidential contests, reelecting George W. Bush in 2004 by five percentage points. Over the past forty years, Colorado has cast its Electoral Votes for the Democrats just once—for Bill Clinton in 1992. But Obama and his party have targeted it as a swing state this year. Democrats also have a good chance of picking up a Senate seat in Colorado this year.
