In Virginia's U.S. Senate race, a new SurveyUSA poll shows Bob Corker (R) leading Rep. Harold Ford Jr. (D), 49% to 46%, a result within the poll's margin of sampling error.
Key finding: "Corker leads by 15 among white voters. Webb leads by 62 points among black voters. Blacks made up 14% of likely voters in SurveyUSA's turnout model. If blacks vote in larger numbers, the Democrat benefits. If blacks vote in smaller numbers, the Republican benefits."
You beat me to it. To all Dims: Get out and vote early on Nov. 8
Can one man be Senator from two states at one time?
Corker, Allen, what's the difference. In the minds of this astute political analyst they're probably both indistinguishable crackers.
Maybe Webb should face off againt Ford in Virginisee.
Hint, it's not the crackers, it's the (R) next to their name....
There is one other conclusion that can be drawn from this finding.
Webb's 62 pt lead among black voters translates to an 81-19 split. And 19% of the black vote is about twice what a GOP candidate normally receives.
Is this yet another sign of the 'Rats losing their grip on the black vote as more and more become middle class?
If so, this is a very bad omen for the 'Rats.
Bristol, maybe...
Looking at the Survey USA link, the breakdown for blacks is 77% for Webb, 15% for Allen, and 7% undecided. Allen also has 56% of the white vote.
It's actually 15% in this poll, but the margin of error for that subgroup is probably about 10%. Last few SurveyUSA polls had Allen with around 20% of the black vote.
He usually gets about 18%.
lol! There are probably some people in Bristol that don't know which state they live in anyway. Hell, probably some dems in Bristol just vote in both states....a few times.
ONLY if he is a "Cracker." Oh, excuse me, a "Tracker" which must mean he's a heap big Injun good at following the pols.
It's TRACKERS not CRACKERS...jeez... :p
IIRC, a recent poll by their WaPo comrades gave Allen 21% of the black vote.
Obviously this Political Wire blogger's not a very good Corker cracker tracker.
WTF?!???! Are they tryin to confuse the GOP voters??!?
Hmmmm.
