CO: Public Policy Polling: Obama up 7

[DrScholl]

Moderates just aren't crossing over enough for Romney to actually win the state. Even among those who don't necessarily approve of Obama, the alternative is not an option for them. Likely Democratic.

The approvals again tell the story

Obama: 49-48
Romney 40-52

And, regardless of what some want to say about this particular polls, there haven't been any recent ones showing Romney with any sort of a lead at all and Colorado was solid Republican not long ago.

Romney is doing better than the other Republican candidates would have, it's just not enough to produce the sort of lead that Republicans want.
