Colorado Survey Results (PPP)
http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/PPP_Release_CO_041312.pdfI suppose that he is an effective governor and a good match for a leftward-trending Colorado.
Deficit or surplus for a Democrat or Republican:
1% to 4% ... color 20%
5% to 9% ... color 40%
10% to 15% ... color 60%
15% or greater ... color 80%
EVEN 40% yellow
red -- incumbent Democratic advantage
orange -- incumbent Democrat in trouble
blue -- incumbent Republican advantage
green --incumbent Republican in trouble
No governor or an independent governor ... whiteNow for the gubernatorial advantage for the President:
Use the same intensity, but if the Republican is in trouble or the Democrat is in positive territory, then color the state
red. If the Democratic governor is doing badly or the Republican Governor is doing fine, then color the state
blue. A tie for either -- it's yellow.
