George Allen would defeat Jim Webb if the election of U.S. Senate in Virginia were held today. That's the finding of a statewide News-7 poll conducted this week. This is the first SurveyUSA poll since Jim Webb won the Democratic nomination to face Republican incumbent George Allen.

SurveyUSA interviewed 1,200 Virginia adults Sunday through Wednesday of this week. Of them, 984 were registered to vote. Of them, 533 were judged to be "likely" voters. The breakdowns in "Survey Details" reflect likely voters.

Fifty-six percent of the likely voters said they'd vote for Allen. Thirty-seven percent said they'd vote for Webb.

A more realistic poll out of VA (Allen v. Yassir Webb).

But how can this BE? zombie told us this is a 6 point race.
I hope this anti Semitic scumbag webb listens to zombie the way frenchie did. Remember zombie was telling that poor dumb bastard frenchie he would win in a landslide right up to 3 PM on Election Day? What a trio of jerks!

The neighborhoods I meant were actually McCain and Webb. I liked Fred Rogers too.

Call me old school, but doesn't it seem pretty lame and childish for any political office seeker to be bragging about polls done months before the election? They are not election results people. I can't imagine any of old guys from decades past making a big deal about polls.

The Webb campaign is trying to demean Allen, calling him "George Felix Allen Jr" and "Senator Dude Ranch." IMHO they're trying to make him look foolish, both for this election and also if he runs for President....I guess they think the voters won't take someone named Felix seriously.

So much for anti-war sentiment carrying the day. Moderates may disagree with how we went to war, but they don't want to cut and run Webb-style.
