Republican Jerry W. Kilgore is leading in the Virginia governor's race despite efforts by Democrat Timothy M. Kaine to tap widespread satisfaction with Gov. Mark R. Warner's performance, according to a new Washington Post poll.
Among all registered voters, Kilgore is ahead by 4 percentage points as the campaign enters its final two months. His lead widens to 7 percentage points among those most likely to vote.
Kilgore, a former attorney general, has cast himself as the perfect fit for a traditionally conservative state.

That's good news. Hopefully it will hold true on election day.
I live in Virginia right now, and I can tell you that I will do what I can to elect Jerry Kilgore as Governor of this fine Southern state ;0 and elect delegate cline back to Richmond! (and possible the AG too ;)!
OH yeah wait till Kayne West runs!
That's excellent news, but, I'd watch out for Kang and Kodos. ;-) :-D
I noticed that the article didn't poll for Lt Governor and Atty Genl.
I know they're "down the ticket" races - but seeing the polling data could give us a better idea of whether the GOP will sweep all three races in November.
has anyone out there heard anythign regarding these other races?
GOP in front by 7 ? "Candidates for Governor Locked In Statistical Tie" -- Headline says.....
A win by Kaine would be a big boost to Mark Warner's presidential prospects, let's hope Kilgore wins.
Kilgore ping!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent news from the WaPo no less. Bush's approval was 47% in this poll - probably a nadir. If he goes up even a little, I think Kilgore wins in a rout. Virginians are very smart.
Jerry Kilgore for Virginia Governor!
This is great news! Post-Labor Day polls count. Everyone should be helping with phone banking and voter identification for the Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts!
For those needing to register to vote in Virginia or request an absentee ballot, download a form and mail it in by 5:00 p.m., October 11.
No, his lead has been quite steady in the polling data I've seen.
Actually, the current governor looks a lot like Koloth...
Keep the pressure up...........the last two weeks and momentum win the day.
Excellent news. Let's hope it continues!
And don't forget Kahless, who will smite them all with his bat'leth!
Rasmusen today says Kilgore and Kaine are tied 45-45. What is going on in Virginia?
