Early Voters Make the Difference in Colorado…Obama with 9 Percentage Point Lead Among Registered Voters…Has 6 Point Advantage Among Likely Voters: Just two months ago, Senator Barack Obama accepted his party’s nomination in the Centennial State, and today, Colorado voters give Barack Obama a lead in the contest against his Republican rival Senator John McCain for the state’s 9 electoral votes. Among registered voters in Colorado, Obama receives 52% to McCain’s 43%. The race tightens a bit among likely voters including early voters and those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate. These voters favor Obama 51% to McCain’s 45%. Obama’s lead among this group is due largely to early voters. 44% of Colorado’s registered voters say they have already cast their ballots. Take them out of the equation, and Obama and McCain are tied -- 46% to 46% -- among likely voters. And, while support for the candidates divides along party lines, 58% of Independent likely voters say they are behind Barack Obama compared with 35% for McCain.
