Poll: Obama, Romney Tied in CO; Obama Underperforming

A Survey USA/Denver Post poll released on Friday has President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney essentially tied in Colorado, a state Obama won by nine points in 2008. Obama only leads Romney by 3 points in the RealClearPolitics average of polls.
In the poll, Obama leads Romney by one point, 47% to 46%. When Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson was factored in, Obama still led Romney by one point.

Romney polled strongest among whites, military families, gun owners, and conservative voters in Colorado Springs and pro-life voters.

Obama performed best among women, Hispanics, voters in the cities, voters who earn less than $40,000 a year, and pro-choice voters.

The poll surveyed 750 Colorado adults, 676 of whom are registered voters, between Sunday and Monday, before anti-American unrests swept across North Africa and the Middle East. The partisan breakdown of the poll was: 34% Republican, 34% Democrat, 30% unaffiliated.

An American Research Group (ARG) poll released on Thursday had Obama leading Romney by two points but potentially revealed what could be a vulnerability for Obama going forward if the gap between Obama and Romney closes even more in Colorado. In the ARG poll, Obama only had the support of 53% of Hispanics while Romney had 38%. Hispanics make up more than 10 percent of Colorado’s voters, and Obama underperformed among them by about 15 points compared to how he fares among Hispanics nationally and in other states.

I think that the tie is not real. We have been walking the precincts for some time already. Next week, I am part of an American Legion team that are registering 18 year old high school students. Colorado is very active right now. Douglass County has signed their teachers to individual contracts and have ignored the union. The unemployment rate hase gone up to the national average while it has been much lower. There is a lot of coal in Colorado that will be affected by Obama’s EPA regulations. There is a lot of gas on federal lands that can not be tapped because of Obama. I do not think there will be the voter turn out there was in 2008.
