Democratic pollster Public Policy Polling’s latest:
PPP’s newest Colorado poll finds Barack Obama leading 49-43 in the state, just a shade closer than 49-42 when we last polled there two months ago. Obama continues to have the upper hand in Colorado because he leads with all the fastest growing groups of the electorate.
The key to Obama’s lead in Colorado is Hispanic voters. They like Obama a lot, approving of him by a 66/33 margin. And they strongly dislike Romney, with only 28% rating him favorably to 69% with an unfavorable opinion. As a result Obama currently leads with them by a 2:1 margin, 58/29. Add that to Obama basically running even with whites, down only 48-47 to Romney, and it’s the formula for a strong Obama standing in the state.
There’s also a broad generational gap in Colorado. Seniors support Romney by a 53/42 margin, but young voters go for Obama by a 59/27 spread. When you expand the categories, Romney leads 51-45 with voters over 45 in the state but Obama leads 55-34 with voters 45 and under. That bodes well for Democrats’ long term prospects in Colorado.
PPP shows President Barack Obama leading among Colorado independents 49-38%, and persistently tepid support for Mitt Romney among Colorado Republicans–significantly more Democrats are loyal to Obama in Colorado (92%) than Republicans are to Romney (85%). Given that Romney lost the caucuses here to Rick Santorum and the subsequent assembly process was rife with dissension in the ranks, that makes empirical sense.

. . . making up a 6-point overall deficit with his brown-folks-disenfranchisement shenanigans alone.
Oversamples Dems… Rasmussen… blah blah blah.
BlueCat, do you recall the good old days when the righties here would go on and on about Congress’s poor approval numbers? Why on earth don’t we hear about that anymore?

According to Nate Silver, PPP skews to Dems much more than Rasmussen skews to the right. So I don’t understand why PPP get s a front page post and Rasmussen gets bashed constantly here, no. The facts don’t support that.
Rasmussen has a few very Dem outliers, but otherwise is consistently very R-leaning so far this year when compared to other polls. Even compared to Gallup.
I know, don’t feed the trolls. There are no jerk whisperers.
Gppher, dear you have gone beyond tool and are approaching imp of Satan in my vocabulary.
Idiot. Not that you’ll read this, since you are certainly off the clock.
He’ll be back to be butthurt over the next piece of info that looks bad for his bosses.
Arap right on cue.

I would have done a strikeover on 1804 if I knew how, and substituted 2012.
put strike tags around the text:
<strike>1804</strike> =
1804I figured someone would provide the secret code.
I knew there was some reason to skim through the posts here even on days when I don’t have the
inclinationtime to leave my inane comments. Thanks for the tip.Does OFA have any spanish speakers?
I do not find this encouraging. I find it the kind of news that lulls the dems into complacency. But then you all have heard that before.
This is a totally idiotic question, unless of course you are a concern troll.
The last OFA speaker I talked with….and granted that was a while ago, keep telling me I lived in Littleton…..I don’t, I Iive in Denver. It was hard for him to take no for an answer…..he kept scheduling me for some kind of “get together” miles from where I lived and voted.
So my question is legitimate and is based on that experience, among others…
live in Denver,” dwyer? Sounds like maybe some instant karma, if you ask me . . .
;~)
In areas where it’s especially beneficial. And rest easy, dwyer, OFA has Oldish speakers, as well.

At a fundraiser today in Chicago – barely a week after visiting the Holy Land – Romney took a shot at the Israeli Kibbutz movement, a product of the early socialist zionist movement and integral to the story of the founding of the State of Israel.
. . . it’s his culture.
What a putz.
