Seems like the trend has been toward Kaine recently.
Polls are usually correct close to an election.
They're showing a dead heat in Virginia, that's what its going to be.
This dope sounds like Mario Cuomo, with a southern twang.
my guess what happens is that Potts supporters come home, but barely. There is still about 8-12% undecided.
Kilgore has upset many conservative Republicans in Virginia with his refusal to answer simple questions about gun control and abortion.
If Kilgore loses, it will be do to his hubris and campaign worker's ineptitude in alienating his base.
I agree. These numbers are not looking good. There has been an unfortunate trend towards Kaine.
Geographically, I wonder where Kaine's number are coming from. I'm tempted to think Northern Virginia where undecideds may be turning towards Kaine.
Kilgore better hope for a great turnout in Tidewater, Southside and the Valley...and hold his own in Northern Virginia.
Wait - what about some of the other poll info - were these registered voters, likely voters, or just adults? Also how many democrats and republicans? Is this in the article I missed it. Also - Ross Potts at 4! ROTFLOL
this survey usa organization are full garbage and suspect.
this same liberal group had Jeb Bush losing in 2002
by 3 points . Well Jeb won by 57 to 41.
The dirty little secret is with the introduction of cell phones , these polls are nonsense. The over sample the crowd with out cell line which
are democrats !

This race is definitely close, and I'm not impressed with the campaign Kilgore is running. They really need to be hammering the Kaine as liberal here in SW VA because Kilgore needs to score big here to offset northern VA and Tidewater.
But I don't trust Jay Warren. He is much too gleeful when touting Dems successes. I need the details of this "poll".
Weekend Polls favor Democrats. We Virginia Republicans have better things to do than sit at home over the weekend waiting for the pollster to call. ;-)
Kilgore is running an awful campaign - he deserves to lose.
He may win in end as Kaine has no platform either.
Kilgore ping.
Not the news we wanted, but it's not time to rearrange the deck chairs just yet.
1) It's a weekend poll.
2) It probably does not capture the affects of the death penalty ads.
3) We knew it was going to be close.
I had hoped (and predicted) it would be a blowout by now. Obviously I missed that one. But I'm still cautiously optimistic.
I'd hate to see a third party candidate-of dubious credentials-sink a good Republican's shot at the governorship.
Well this is great news for the me-o-cons. Now they won't have to wait till 06 to start punishing Bush and the rest of us. /sarcasm
Not really. The GOP was split in the primary for North and he barely pulled it out at the convention. Because Marshall Coleman had the support of John Warner, he polled higher. In that case, he did make the difference and Robb won.
I don't think anybody views Potts as that credible and in the ballot box, he may not even pull the 4%.
