10/14 Poll Watch

National:  Mitt Romney moved up another point to +2 in the Rasmussen Poll on Sunday.  Gallup also shows Romney up 2 and IBD tracking now has Obama up 1.

Colorado:  Mitt Romney is up 48-47% in the Denver Post/SurveyUSA poll, this is a 2 point swing in Romney's direction since Sept 12.  Two things are interesting:  1) Romney gained 2 points from 46-48, while  Barack Obama remained the same.  Also in this poll, (and I'm not sure how many other polls do this) they only give a choice of two candidates  Obama and Romney.   The real ballot in Colorado will actually have several other choices on it.  Pollsters have their methods, we will see if this one is affected by the limit.

Speaking of Colorado (which is where I live and vote), Salena Zito of Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has a column on the importance of Colorado in the election.  In it, she ties the measure of Romney's success to the 7th Representative District between Incumbent Democrat Ed Perlmutter, and Republican Joe Coors.
