"Obama was only up a single point in Florida after the Republican National Convention was held in Tampa in late August. After the GOP party meeting, Romney’s favorability went positive in PPP’s polling, hitting 49 percent favorable against 47 percent unfavorable. Over the last three weeks, things have changed — Romney’s personal rating is now 44 percent favorable against a majority of 51 percent unfavorable.
“Romney’s comments about the ‘47%’ this week aren’t doing him any favors,” PPP wrote in its analysis. “89% of voters are familiar with them and 50% consider them to have been inappropriate to 44% who were ok with them. Most troubling for Romney independent voters considered the comments improper by a 58/37 margin and he trails Obama by a 51/40 spread with those folks who could determine the final outcome in the state.”
As for Colorado, the new 6-point lead for Obama is an improvement on the 49 percent to 46 percent advantage he had on Romney at the end of August. PPP found the same trend in the state as they did in Florida — Obama’s job approval hit 50 percent to 47 percent of likely voters who disapprove, while Romney stumbled on his personal rating.
“The key for Obama in Colorado is that he’s neutralizing or even holding a small lead with some of the groups he tends to struggle with,” PPP wrote. “For instance he’s actually slightly ahead, 49-48, with white voters and when you add his typical 65-29 lead with Hispanics to the mix it gives him his overall healthy lead.”
Overall, the president leads the race in Colorado by 2.9 percent in the PollTracker Average.
