President Barack Obama’s 1-point lead over Mitt Romney in Colorado is well witihin the margin of error in the latest round of swing state polls from Purple Strategies released on Friday.
The poll shows Obama leading Romney among likely Colorado voters 47 percent ot 46 percent. Purple showed Obama holding a 3-point lead over Romney in Colorado a month ago, but the president also fell short of 50 percent in that poll. Fifty-one percent disapprove of Obama’s job performance, and roughly half of Colorado voters have an unfavorable opinion of both candidates.
The PollTracker Average shows very little separating the two candidates in Colorado, with Obama’s current 1.7-point edge enough to qualify the state as a toss-up on the TPM Electoral Scoreboard.
