Poll: Colorado voters not happy with Obama

DENVER, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- The number of Colorado voters who say they have an unfavorable opinion of President Obama is the same percentage who voted for him in 2008, a poll indicates.

The Denver Post poll released Monday indicates the dissatisfaction with Obama's job comes as 65 percent of likely voters rank jobs and the economy as their top issues.

Thirty-six percent of respondents said they have a favorable opinion and 11 percent said they were neutral, the poll indicates.

"It obviously shows how incredibly volatile the electorate is," Denver pollster Floyd Ciruli said. "It is largely a reflection of the public not being very happy with the Democratic performance, particularly as it relates to the economy -- the promises that were made about the stimulus and the fact that it didn't have the success that was hoped for."

SurveyUSA conducted the poll of likely voters Tuesday through Thursday. Depending on the question, the survey's margin of error ranges from 3.6 percentage points to 4 percentage points.
