Colorado is one of the few swing states where Romney has led in early voting, however, most polls show the two candidates in a statistical dead heat.  A recent Survey USA and PPP poll showed Obama starting to move ahead in Colorado with a 2 point and 4 point lead, respectively.

Among the swing states, Romney was still a 1-2 favorite in Florida and nearly a 1-6 favorite in the state of North Carolina, the later of which is no longer being touted as a swing state. 

In Virginia, the odds have Romney only slightly favored to Obama at -120 compared to -110. 

Ohio odds have improved a bit for Obama, up from -260 to -300 or 1/3.
