The race to the White House is undoubtedly going to be decided by swing states like Colorado, Virginia and Wisconsin.
According to Real Clear Politics average, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is leading by a very slim margin in Colorado. Romney is holding on to a 0.2 percent lead over President Obama, 47.8 to 47.6.
According to the most current Rasmussen Reports, 50 percent of Colorado's likely voters support Romney compared to to 46 percent who support Obama.
Democratic-leaning Public Poly Polling has Obama holding on to a three-point lead in the state, 50 to 47.
"Barack Obama still has the lead in Colorado but it's a tenuous one," President of Public Policy Polling Dean Debnam said. "The race is the closest it's been all year and it's trended in Mitt Romney's direction over the last month."
The Colorado Pueblo Chieftain and the Colorado Longmont Times-Call, have endorsed Romney.
RCP's average has both candidates tied in Virginia.
According to the New York Times, Virginia is "one of the nation's newest battleground states and will be center stage in Obama's fight for reelection."
Virginia has 20 electoral votes to offer and Obama won the state in 2008 by as much as seven points.
Fifty percent and 47 percent of likely voters in Virginia support Romney and Obama, respectively, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports polling data.
In Wisconsin, Obama is leading Romney by nearly three points, 49.5 to 46.8, but the state's 10 electoral votes are still up for grabs.
Wisconsin Republican Congressman Paul Ryan is the No. 2 man on the Romney ticket, but according to the NYT, that does not secure a win over Obama and "cement the state's role as a true battleground."
In 2008, Obama beat his challenger by nearly 14 points and Democrats has won the state in the last six presidential elections.
