Fox News: Obama has edge over Romney in three battleground states.

President Barack Obama has the edge over Republican Mitt Romney in three potentially decisive states in the presidential election.

Obama tops Romney by seven percentage points among likely voters in both Ohio (49-42 percent) and Virginia (50-43 percent). In Florida, the president holds a five-point edge (49-44 percent).

Obama’s lead is just outside the poll’s margin of sampling error in Ohio and Virginia, and within the margin of sampling error in Florida.

The good news for Romney is that among voters who are “extremely” interested in this year’s election, the races are much tighter. Obama is up by just two points with this group in Virginia (49-47 percent), Florida is tied (48-48 percent), and Romney is up by one point in Ohio (48-47 percent).

or a battleground state. Colorado is now Obama Country.

Here's a neat evidence of Rmoney conceding Colorado to Obama.

On Sunday, Rmoney was supposed to show up in Pueblo. Unfortunately, a one seater experimental plane crashed there. Pilot was killed. If Rmoney wants to battle Obama for Colorado, he could have landed on an alternate runway in Pueblo or go to Trinidad Airport (another 30 minutes drive) - both could take in the CRJ Rmoney was flying.

Instead, he went to Kansas City to eat bad BBQ beef.

And hasn't been back since.
