Colorado provided Barack Obama with his 270^th electoral vote in both 2008 and 2012 (that is, if you array the states in order of Obama percentages, they add up to 270 electoral votes when you get to Colorado). So it’s interesting that a Quinnipiac Colorado poll released today provides some very negative news about Hillary Clinton’s current standing there. Some 60 percent or more of Colorado find her dishonest and not caring about people like them, and she trails Ben Carson, Donald Trump, Marcio Rubio and Ted Cruz by double-digit margins, with an average of 37 percent of the vote, far below Obama’s 51 percent in 2012. Carson and Rubio get 52 percent, Cruz 51 percent and Trump 48 percent. In the pairings against Rubio, Clinton gets only 41 percent among women, 36 percent of those under age 35 and 32 percent among Independents.

The simultaneously released Florida Atlantic University poll shows not quite so dire results in that state, with those four Republicans averaging 48 percent and Clinton 43 percent when matched against them.
