Another Colorado poll, another sign Romney’s post-Denver debate momentum continues. Rasmussen is out with a poll today showing Romney up 50-46 over Obama, marking a five-point shift in Romney’s direction from Rasmussen’s last Colorado poll on October 7.
The October 7 Rasmussen poll had Obama winning 49-48.
Romney’s lead in today’s Rasmussen poll comes from a 12-point lead among male voters, while Obama clings to a thin 3-point lead among female voters. There’s a gender gap, to be sure, but not the kind the press and liberals have been talking about for the last couple of months.
The sample in today’s Rasmussen poll is 36D/40R/23U, significantly different from the Oct. 7 Rasmussen poll with a 30D/35R/30U sample.
According to a Colorado Peak Politics source, as of this morning approximately 36,000 Republicans had returned their ballots to 29,000 Democrats and 20,000 Unaffiliateds. It’s early, and hard to draw too many conclusions from, but that turnout seems to suggest today’s Rasmussen sample could be correct.
As we’ve been saying for months, we expect the Colorado electorate on Nov. 6 to have more Republicans than Democrats, despite left-wing pollster PPP’s suggestion that Democrats will magically turnout in higher numbers than they ever have in history.
Regardless of the perennial party ID fight, no matter how you slice it, Romney’s momentum in Colorado is real and continuing. Will it be enough to push him over the top? We’ll know in a little more than two weeks.
Daniel…..have you NOT been reading and watching the news for months? Mitt Romney and the Repuglican Party place no value on women at all! They did every thing they could to take away women's right to choose, charge women more for insurance the list goes on and on…..get a clue…..it's not just Romney….if the Repuglican Party doesn't get it's head out of it's keester there will BE NO PARTY~ They are becoming more and more irrelevant!
Great job Colorado, and especially you Colorado ladies. Obama seems to put llittle value on the minds of women voters, claiming that the only thing that is important to them is birth controll. It's a shame that our current president doesn't understand that the women in this country are not just here for sex and they actually have a brain and know how to use it. He makes me so angry because he doesn't seem to understand the wonderful gift that women are. Fortunately, Mitt Romney does see the value of women and how important their contributions are and how they think about issues that affect society.
