Led by Dr. Hanson, Dr. Masket and J. Ann Selzer of Selzer & Company, the poll was conducted on Oct. 4 and 5 via telephone with 604 Colorado residents who are 18 years of age or older. To qualify as likely Colorado voters, respondents had to say that they live in Colorado and would definitely vote in the upcoming Presidential election. Responses were adjusted by age, race, and educational attainment to reflect the general population based on recent Census data. The poll included a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.

Here come the "real" polls, not the GOP-leaning push polls.

There could have been a Romney-bounce actually ...

... if Obama was ahead by 10 in CO before the debate ... Tongue

I said that it would be 1-2 point bounce. Romney's numbers got a bounce from a positive view but he did no damage to Obama's numbers, plus that jobs report may negate the bounce or at least decrease it so...

PPP is a real polster and we can't ignore the 5% bump there. There is also been movement to Romney on Gallup, Rasmussen, Rand and Reuters.  Romney is getting some kind of bump we just dont know how big or how sustained.  

That being said it is hard to imagine a path to 270 for Romney without CO. 'If this poll is close to right, Romney needs another bounce to win election

It's because Opebo is right, the white voters in WI is very different from the one in CO.

party id: R +1 (like in 2008)

I don't buy the 17 % Obama lead amongst Independents (only 10 % in 2008), like I don't buy the 16 % Romney lead amongst Independents voters in the national rasmussen poll.

As did reuters, Romney got a massive bounce on Friday.....but both PPP and Reuters claim to have not seen much movement on Saturday.

Independents in Colorado tend very strongly to be progressives, IIRC. The number doesn't surprise me.

It's because Opebo is right, the white voters in WI is very different from the one in CO.

Thank you sir.  And, as the Wisconsin white is to the Colorado white, so the Ohio white is to the Wisconsin white - after Ohio you start to get into Indiana and The South levels of hatred. 

Ohio's what I'm worried about, just Ohio.

A possible relatively comfortable Romney win?



If this is the case, the question then becomes- do we have to wait or change the message now? And what would it take for this closeted racism to start to percolate? It appears,
like Romney's views, that while they are nefarious, they are hard to combat.

Wisconsin is not a swing state. Obama has led in the last 12 polls by about an average of 6 points. Until Romney has a poll leading in this state from a reputable, this is not a swing state.

Weren't those polls from a Republican Polling Firm and Gravis Marketing (which had Romney up like 17 in Florida)?

No, at this point OH and WI aren't in Romney's column yet.
BUt if this video reaches 10 milliion views, Obama needs to come up with a different strategy that involves winning Virginia or Florida, or come with an equivalent presentation that's just as effective into scaring the white working class in Ohio into voting for him. Similar to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLo0Jwj03JU but a lot scarier, and hire Opebo to narrate it.

That would be opebo's path for Romney, anyway. Though Florida is kind of weird. Florida should be lean D by virtue of population and demographics...but Florida cities just dont have those liberal inner suburbs(the downtowns are as big as the ones up north,but  just 5 miles from the tallest building in Central Florida is the State Fair so...) and the population is aging...so...

"Opebo's" path is the only path to winning, Romney must win Ohio to win, and so does Obama.

Like I said earlier, if Romney wins without CO, then I'm moving the F out of this sorry state.  It's turned into another debt ridden California.
