AARP poll of older NV voters: Romney and Obama tied

[Person Man]

I mean, I wonder why the eldery are going so far to the right in Colorado. The rest of the demography is about where it was, right? Has there been a growing need there to "want their social security money back"?

...and a lot of the Colorado natives are older. They tend to be no different than Wyoming or Nebraska natives.

I mean, even in the PPP poll, where Obama is up by 6, the eldery HATE Obama. He only has 41% approval rating and is losing to Romney by 3 points amongst those 46-65 and 11 points amongst those 65 and over. That would be like Romney winning by like 8 points amongst those 50+ in a poll that has him down by 6.

Colorado Social Conservatives are likely infuriated by recent policy shifts in the obama administration.

Yes, but they voted Republican in the last elections, too, so, that changes nothing at all.

Colorado is probably the least culturally conservative swing states despite having the most organized culturally conservative elements of all swing states. 

Let's just put it this way. If it wasn't for Boulder and the ski towns, Colorado would vote like Arizona. It would seem competitive in a stray good poll or two but prove elusive for Democrats above the Congressional or Gubertorial level...
 

On the other hand, if there were no Colorado Springs, Colorado would probably vote like Washington. It would seem competitive in a stray good poll or two but prove elusive for Republicans above the Congressional or Gubertorial level....or perhaps as bad as California where the Republicans have to run pro-choice gubertorial candidates to even have a shot.
