Raleigh, N.C. – For Public Policy Polling’s second Colorado poll in a row Barack
Obama has a ten point lead in the state. He is now up 54-44 over John McCain.
Two of the main factors driving Obama’s success in the state continue to be his strong
standing with independents and Hispanic voters. He is up 60-36 with voters who don’t
identify with either party, and he has a 65-33 lead with Hispanics, the fastest growing
voter bloc in the state.
Obama is also banking a huge lead in early voting. 65% of respondents said they had
already cast their ballots, and among those folks Obama has an even more dominant 58-
41 lead.
“At one point in the not so distant past it looked like the race for President might come
down to Colorado on election night,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy
Polling. “But since the economy started really going south, Obama has broken open the
race in the state and looks primed for a dominant victory Tuesday.”
Obama is also pulling more Republican voters (13%) than McCain is Democratic voters
(10%), a key stat for him in a year where Democrats were supposedly going to have unity
problems.
Also headed to an easy victory is Mark Udall, who now leads Bob Schaffer 56-41 in his
quest to replace Wayne Allard in the US Senate.
PPP surveyed 2,023 likely voters from October 28th to 30th. The survey’s margin of
error is +/-2.2%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may
introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.
