A new survey from a Democratic polling firm released Saturday night shows Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Mark Udall both have a 10-point lead in Colorado.
The survey, taken by Public Policy Polling, has Obama leading Republican opponent John McCain 52 percent to 42 percent. Udall leads Republican U.S. Senate nominee Bob Schaffer 49 percent to 39 percent in the poll.
PPP said Obama’s lead was due in large part to increasing Hispanic support in Colorado for the U.S. Senator from Illinois. The poll found 71 percent of Colorado Hispanics surveyed favored Obama; just 21 percent of Hispanics polled favored McCain.
PPP’s last survey in Colorado, released Sept. 23, showed Obama with a 57-36 lead among Hispanic voters.
Just 6 percent of those polled were undecided about the presidential race.
The survey was taken Oct. 8-10 among 1,331 likely voters. The poll’s margin of error is +/- 2.7 percent.
Popularity: 29% [?]
