“Some polls had suggested that Colorado was becoming more competitive. That may have been true last month, but it does not appear to be the case now. Clinton’s current lead is as comfortable as it was three months ago, which is probably why her campaign has not diverted a lot of resources here,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.
Among self-identified Democrats, 95% support Clinton – similar to 93% in July. Among self-identified Republicans, 90% support Trump – up from 78% in July. Clinton has widened her lead among independents – 49% to 26% now, compared with 40% to 28% in July.
Clinton also has an overwhelming lead among Hispanic, black, and Asian voters (71% to 17%) as well as a slight lead among white voters (45% to 42%). These dynamics are basically unchanged from July when she had a 66% to 15% lead among non-white voters and a 44% to 38% edge among white voters.
Clinton has lost some support among women voters, but this has been made up for by a swing in her favor by male voters. Women back Clinton over Trump by 49% to 36% and men support her by a 48% to 41% margin. In July, Clinton had a larger lead among women voters (56% to 30%), but men were divided (39% Clinton and 40% Trump).
