8. Romney not leading in even one poll.

McCain had similar trends, got close, maybe a 1 or 2 point win in a given poll, but Obama won the vast majority, and his margins got up to 8, 9, 10 at times.

Romney is not winning CO.

15. Perfect example of the Rasmussen RW fudge factor.

He knows CO is critical so he is doing his best to make it appear a toss up.

[JoePhilly]

16. exactly.

3. Well Colorado

I guess it's Guns not Bongs for you. I know it's still early, and it is Rasmussen after all. Probably wrong.

5. and here are PPP tweets showing unchanged results in their new poll

probably out tomorrow.

6. Doesn't surprise me it's close there

Seems it is always close there, but with Ras you can assume it's more like a 2 point lead for Obama. All within the margin of error.

I don't see Obama losing Colorado.

7. Tack on +5 to Obama because it is a Rasmussen poll

And that is about where I would expect things to be in CO.

Let's wait and see what the reputable pollsters say.

10. New PPP poll - Obama up by 6% in Colorado.

50% more voters than the Rasmussen poll - http://www.democraticunderground.com/125165405

11. Interesting - no change in Razzy 2 months

Except the # of undecideds droppedfrom 10 to 6%.

12. I'm inclined to NOT believe Rasmussen, as

was pointed out:

"Rasmussen Reports, which is the house pollster for Fox News..."

That's all I have to hear.

13. Another Assmussen poll? Have they ever been right about anything?

What do they use? Fax machines? Carrier pigeons?

14. Why do you even post this trash??

at least you could have put a disclaimer.

17. The House of Ras is totally unreliable

18. I would be really surprised if Obama loses CO

It was one of the few states, where a Democrat actually won a statewide election in 2010 (winning the Senate seat).

Demographics have changed dramatically over the years. While the margin won't be 2008 (what was it 10 points?), I think he'll win it by a comfortable 5. For the same reason, I think he'll take VA. NC is a bit trickier, but there too, demographic shifts in large part due to Latinos and transplants, will make it competitive to the end. These states are the new battlegrounds. We're well beyond the '00 and '04 maps, which is a very sign.
