It’s McCain 46, Obama 44 in a key Western state, according to Quinnipiac. This is the first time the Republican’s led a Colorado poll since 2008 polling of the state began in February. And considering that this is the host state for the Democratic National Convention, it’s a very interesting result. Perhaps all the fallout over the cost of the convention has had a negative impact. Perhaps a similar explanation applies to why Rasmussen shows Obama leading by 13 points in Minnesota.
