From Rasmussen:
Barack Obama is pulling away from John McCain in Colorado, according to the latest Fox News/Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state.
Obama leads McCain by six points, 51% to 45%. A week ago, Obama had a one-point lead, and a week before that McCain was up by two.
Eighty-two percent (82%) of Colorado voters are now certain who they will vote for, up four points from a week ago. Eighteen percent (18%) say they may still change their minds, including one-third of unaffiliated voters in the state.
For Obama the findings are good news since moving Colorado to the Democratic column is considered critical to his winning the White House. A classic swing state, Colorado went for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004 and GOP nominee Bob Dole in 1996 after supporting Democrat Bill Clinton four years earlier…

..there was a tie in CO. Damn polls! They say everything at once (perhaps…nothing at once?).
The other poll was Mason-Dixon, a formerly Eastern regional polling outfit who also gave us Obama +10 back in August. They may have PA, MD, and surrounding territory down pat, but they’ve got a ways to go here in Colorado.
It looks like Rasmussen is pushing leaners hard now, and that may have affected the numbers. Only 4% undecided or other in the poll is hard to believe – much as I want to believe it.
Over at Intrade, where, as we all know, people actually put there money where theier moth is, we have:
If the state-by-state elections were independent events, the Intrade probabilities would translate to an overall 9% chance of John McCain winning the election.
This is down from about 40% less than three weeks ago! I think I’d turn into an angry old man with this news, too!!
on the Rachel Maddow show arguing that Palin is the greatest thing since sliced bread because McCain is only losing by a few points and 25! The “why isn’t Obama winning by more” argument is really a convoluted and delusional one to make. Oh, and he cited Drudge as his source…
Hands down, he’s awesome!! He certainly complements Olberman.
Buchanan’s already probably gunning for Palin 2012…
He’s just a frequent guest on other MSNBC shows.
Pollster now has Senator Obama having more than the 270 EV’s needed. Including lean states, they have him at 296. But I can’t stress enough that we cannot rest yet. 4 more weeks and then celebration.
To fix the scandals, mockeries and tragedies of the past eight years.
until the Supreme Court has recessed;-)
What are you guys going to do when McCain wins and you realize all your polling was in error?
Are you going to riot like Carville suggested?
Bill Ayers can bring the bombs and molotov cocktails! 🙂
