COLORADO

THE POLL: Associated Press-GfK poll, presidential race in Colorado among likely voters, 9 electoral votes

THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama 50 percent, John McCain 41 percent

OF INTEREST: Eight in 10 say they're worried about the state's economic conditions. Of that group, nearly six in 10 back Obama. Two-thirds of those not too concerned about the economy back McCain. Voters are split about evenly over which candidate they trust more on national security, but prefer Obama to handle the economy, the financial crisis and health care. Obama leads among people who say they've already voted, 57 percent to 34 percent. Men are evenly split between the two candidates while women prefer Obama by 19 percentage points. Whites lean only slightly toward McCain. Among them, white born-again and evangelical Christians prefer him by 42 percentage points, and whites without college degrees favor him by 14 points. Independents back Obama 49 percent to 37 percent. Slightly more oppose a fixed timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq than favor such a schedule, as Obama does. Democrat Mark Udall is solidly ahead of Republican Bob Schaffer in their race for the state's open Senate seat.

DETAILS: Conducted Oct. 22-26 by landline telephone, included 626 likely voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
