BREAKING: 50% – 48% IN COLORADO, OBAMA UP TWO IN NEW CNN/ORC POLL… It's a tight race in Colorado, with 50% of likely voters picking Barack Obama and 48% choosing Mitt Romney. That margin for Obama is well within the survey's sampling error, essentially making the race a tie. As in most swing states, there is a fairly big gender gap, with Romney ahead among men by 10 points and Obama winning women by 13 points. Income is also an important indicator. Obama has a big lead among lower wage earners, while voters with more than $50,000 in income last year are tied - 49% for Romney, 49% for Obama. But the key to the Colorado election may be the split between the Denver area and the rest of the state, with the suburbs likely to determine the winner. – CNN’s Keating Holland
