The Bluing Of The Centennial State

A PPP (August 5-7, 933 LV) poll released earlier today shows Obama up four points in Colorado:

Obama (D) 48 (n/c)
McCain (R) 44 (n/c)

They also have a Senate poll out in the same state, where the Republicans are running Rep. Bob Schaffer against Democrat Rep. Mark Udall, the son of Arizona legislator Morris "Mo" Udall:

Udall (D) 47 (n/c)
Schaffer (R) 41 (+3)

While PPP is considered to be a capital-D Democratic organization, its pollster-introduced error tends to be lower than industry leaders such as Insider Advantage, ABC/Washington Post, Strategic Vision, and Gallup, and in the end it all boils down to who is closest.

These are good numbers for Democrats in Colorado, and if the trend holds it could indicate an impending Democratic sweep in the fall. August is awful early yet, but Colorado was awfully red not too long ago.
