PPP Poll: Obama Leads Colorado By 4 Points

[cal04]

President Obama has slightly expanded his lead in Colorado, according to a new survey released Thursday from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling. Obama gets 51 percent of likely voters to Romney's 47 percent in their new poll, a small tick up from the 50 percent to 47 percent advantage the president held over Romney in PPP's polling from a week ago. From their analysis:

Colorado voters think Obama was the winner of Monday night's debate by a 51/38 margin, and it seems to be having a positive impact on his approval numbers. 51% of voters give him good marks to 47% who disapprove, up from a 49/49 spread last week. Romney's favorability numbers are unchanged from a week ago with 48% of voters rating him favorably and 49% unfavorably. Voters trust Obama more on both the economy (50/46) and Libya (53/44) than they do Romney.

Obama has a 51/43 lead with independents. Beyond that his advantage is being driven by large margins with women (54/44), Hispanics (65/34), and young voters (60/35). Romney's main areas of support are with men (49/47), whites (52/46), and seniors (56/41).

They had a bad round of polls a week or so ago.

4. They aren't using cell phones, so in fact they could be under-estimating Obama votes.

5. PPP was more accurate for swing states in 2008 then a lot of other polls were.

It does not always favor Dems. The IA poll done by NYT/Marist/WSJ was plus 8 while PPP had IA down 1 point and then ahead 2 points recently.

I look at the trend. Obama has improved in CO, IA, WI and VA per their polls today. That is excellent news.

6. ITA.

PPP had some bad (for us) polls a week or so ago. All recent polls, so far, appear to be much better (for whatever reason).

8. He won a second debate.

And Romney did not have a good news day with Mourdock the other day. This may not show up in national polling because the red states dislike Obama more then ever but it sure is showing up in the swing state polls where voters are not as strident in their political ideology.

7. BOmentum!

9. And it has nothing to do with the ground game?

We're busting our butts here in CO working on GOTV.
