PPP Poll: Obama LEADS Colorado By 4 Points

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).

We all know that the M$M is in the bought coll um ,And we all know that Mittwitt Robnesia has one solid voting block ,But for the most part when I read a poll all demographics are represented except for the Afro American ,I think I have seen those percentages 3 out of the 100s of polls I have read ,Are we being counted or just taking for granted as to how we effect this election ,Well I guess we could be a small percentage of this nation .After all there is only 100 million Afro Americans in the United States and pretty well spread out I might add Just an observation ,Me as a Black man who has voted ,Really could care less about the polls ,All reality in the corporate media went out the window after the first debate and the election show really took center stage! so I decided to change stations and started knocking on doors and using social Media.
Thanks for reading !
