Rove: Obama winning Colorado

By Mike Saccone | Sunday, October 5, 2008, 03:03 PM

When Karl Rove says a Republican is doing poorly, well, that’s not a good sign for conservatives. And today, on his Web site, Rove said this: “If the election were held today, Obama would win every state John Kerry won in 2004, while adding New Mexico (5 EV), Iowa (7 EV), and Colorado (9 EV) to his coalition.”

Yes, Rove just said that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is winning in Colorado.

Here is the aggregate polling data from Pollster.com, which shows the growing gab between Obama and Republican John McCain in Colorado polling:

Granted this could change with one major gaffe on either side or some earth-shaking event, akin to U.S. financial markets crashing, but this cannot be good news for Colorado Republicans.
