It appears having the Democratic convention in Denver may have actually hurt Obama’s standing in the state. 85% of poll respondents said the event being in Colorado had no impact on their vote one way or the other, but of the 15% who said it did make a difference 9% said it made them less likely to vote for the Democratic nominee while 6% said it made them more likely to support him.John McCain has increased his lead with white voters from two points last month to six points now, but it may be the changing demographics of the state that put Barack Obama over the top. He has a 58-34 lead with the state’s expanding Hispanic population.
“States like Colorado and Virginia that are under going rapid shifts in their population will determine who our next President is,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “The big question is whether those states have changed enough to go Democratic this year, or if that is still in the future.”
As in every other state PPP has polled recently, Sarah Palin is more of a hit with Colorado voters than Joe Biden. 41% of respondents said they were more likely to choose John McCain because of his running mate, while just 28% said the same of Barack Obama’s pick.
