By a 4-point margin, Colorado voters who watched Tuesday night’s debate gave the edge to President Barack Obama, a snap poll from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows.
Forty-eight percent of those voters surveyed by PPP said Obama won the town hall debate in Hempstead, N.Y., while 44 percent said Mitt Romney emerged on top. Obama won the debate among Colorado independents by an even wider margin, 58 percent to 36 percent.
PPP conducted the survey using automated interviews with 438 Colorado voters who watched the debate.
