Quinnipiac/NYT In Colorado: Obama 47%, Romney 46%

The Hill reports, another poll showing a tight race in Colorado to add to the pile–but in this case, the razor-thin margin still reflects good news for Democrats.

Obama leads Romney by 51 to 45 percent in Wisconsin, 50 to 46 percent in Virginia and 47 to 46 percent in Colorado, according to polls conducted by Quinnipiac University for CBS and The New York Times…

Most recent Colorado polls have shown the two candidates neck and neck in the state. The last time Quinnipiac polled there, in early August, it found Romney holding a 5-point lead.

The Quinnipiac poll released in early August showing Mitt Romney up by five over Barack Obama came in for some methodological criticism, and with the exception of a GOP-friendly Rasmussen poll showing Romney up by two, appears to have been an outlier. It’s possible that today’s poll has the same issues, but Democrats shouldn’t argue with the trajectory.

Quinnipiac’s trajectory is now in agreement with everybody else.
