DENVER—Associated Press voter polls in the past week show Colorado voters chose the economy as the most important issue facing the country, more so than Iraq or health care.
And Barack Obama had strong support among women, independents and Hispanics in Colorado.
Voters who said they want a candidate who shares their values or has the right experience tended to pick John McCain. So did born-again or evangelical Christians, and voters who approve of the way George W. Bush has handled his presidency.
The survey of 1,254 Colorado voters was conducted for AP by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International by landline telephone statewide over the past week.
Results are subject to sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points, higher for subgroups.
