1st Poll Of Colo. Voters Post-Ryan Has Good News For Obama

OnSight/Keating Poll: Obama Leads In Colorado By 4 Points In First Poll Since Romney Announced Ryan Pick

A new poll released Friday from OnSight Public Affairs/Keating Research gives President Barack Obama a four-point lead over GOP challenger Mitt Romney.

This is the first poll of Colorado voters since the announcement of U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan joining the Romney ticket and it appears there has not been a Ryan bump for Romney in the Centennial State. The poll also arrives in the wake of an Electoral College prediction model announced this week from two professors at University of Colorado that points to a Romney win in 2012.

Of the 500 likely Colorado voters OnSight/Keating surveyed, 48 percent said they would vote for Obama while 44 percent said they would vote for Romney, if the election were held today.

"Clearly, Romney’s choice of Ryan as his running mate has not provided an impact on the Presidential race in Colorado,” said pollster Chris Keating in a statement. “But this is a close race that remains just within the margin of error. There is no doubt that the Presidential race in Colorado will depend on voter turnout."

According to OnSight, Obama's advantage in Colorado stems from strong support from women and Hispanic voters -- Obama leads Romney by 10 points among women (51 percent to 41 percent) and that lead increases to 15 points among younger women. Hispanic voters overwhelmingly support Obama -- according to the poll, Obama leads Romney among Hispanic voters by staggering 33 points (65 percent to 32 percent).

Jus' keep doin' what yer doin'... :thumbsup:

Margin of error. (I still have hope.)

The margin of error can work in either direction.

BASICALLY it is a statistical dead heat and I predict that the Nov. election will mimic 2000 Gore/Bush fiasco in Florida........the energy/trending is EXACTLY the same (for those of you that "do" astrology, Mercury goes retrograde on the exact day of election
in Nov..........can you say "hanging chads"? :pop

And here's the stuff that The Human Centipede Lady Jazzer didn't clip and paste... according to Keating...

The poll is based on 500 live telephone interviews conducted August 21-22 among likely November 2012 voters in Colorado. For this sample of 500 interviews, the worst case margin of error at the 95% level is plus or minus 4.4 percent. Respondents were chosen at random from a list of voters with phone numbers, including cell phones.

Romney claimed an advantage among Colorado men with 48 percent to Obama’s 45 percent. He maintains a one-point lead among whites with 47 percent.

“But this is a close race that remains just within the margin of error. There is no doubt that the Presidential race in Colorado will depend on voter turnout.”

Always go to the original source... Huffington, Talking Points Memo etal, always only quotes the material that is favorable to their ideology... like I say... The lefts objective is not the truth... the narrative is their objective.

Now back to our regularly scheduled lies and tap dancing from the left.

Reminds me of the Scott Walker recall. LJ kept reading the slanted talking points who predicted he would easily be recalled and it just didn't happen. Rose colored glasses?

Yeah, like Ken Buck was predicted to win the Colorado Senate...up until the day he lost... :Snooze

Hey Human Centipede... Ken Buck is not running for President.

Neither is Scott Walker.
