A political battle for the ages may become a battle of the ages.

Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama are neck-and-neck in Colorado, solidifying the state as a key, swing area that will be pivotal in deciding who becomes the next president of the U.S., according to a Rocky Mountain News/CBS4 News poll released Friday.

"It's a heck of a horse race in Colorado," said pollster Lori Weigel. "We're officially a purple state now."

The poll revealed sharp divisions among voters by age and geography, with the candidates' approaches to economic issues a key to winning the state.

"There is a huge generational divide," said analyst Craig Hughes, who consulted on the poll. "You really are poised to see this battle of the ages, where this youth vote can swing it."
