The latest findings mark little change from last week when Romney led 50% to 46%. Two weeks earlier, Obama was ahead by one – 49% to 48% - but there’s been a shift in several of the swing states since the first presidential debate on October 3. In surveys in Colorado since July, Romney has earned 45% to 50% of the vote, while the president has picked up 45% to 49% support.

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of likely Colorado voters have already cast their ballots, and Romney leads 50% to 47% among these voters.

The president leads 50% to 44% among voters in the state not affiliated with either of the major political parties.

Colorado voters are now almost evenly divided when asked whom they think will win the election: 45% say Obama, 42% Romney. Seventy-five percent (75%) are excited about the choice between Obama and Romney, but 22% still say they will be voting for the lesser of two evils.

Voters in the state trust Romney more than Obama by nine points – 53% to 44% - when it comes to handling the economy and by five points – 51% to 46% - in the area of national security. That’s slightly more confidence in both areas than voters express in Romney nationwide. But by a 51% to 46% margin, Colorado voters think the president better understands the issues of the middle class.
