More than two-thirds, or 69 percent, of Colorado voters have already cast ballots, and among those early voters, Obama has a 5-point advantage with 51 percent supporting Obama and 46 percent supporting Romney. The President leads 48 percent to 45 percent with voters who said they had not yet cast a ballot.

In a state where more voters are registered unaffiliated than Democrat or Republican, Obama leads by 25 points among unaffiliated voters with 58 percent backing the President and 33 percent supporting Romney. Unaffiliated voters are seen a key factor in this race because candidates have locked up support with their base voters. Registered Democrats give 92 percent support to Obama with 5 percent supporting Romney while 92 percent of Republicans favor Romney to just 6 percent who favor Obama.

In addition to a few good polls, I also saw that registered Republicans have a 2-point lead in early voting, compared to a 2-point lead for Democrats in 2008. Since Obama won the state by 9 points, this is not a huge drop.

if we can good numbers from each county, we will win.

I think as in 2010, CO was one of the bright spots, it remains Democratic and elected gov and senator. I think it is safe for us.
