Survey USA: Obama Pulls Away in Virginia (O 53, M 43)
Political Wire ^ | 10-6-08 | Survey USA

Posted on 10/06/2008 10:01:37 AM PDT by Alter Kaker

A new SurveyUSA poll in Virginia shows Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain by ten points, 53% to 43%.

Since a similar poll conducted just after the Republican convention, McCain has gone from up by 2 to down by 10.

Key finding: McCain no longer leads in any region of the state.

I honestly don't get what's happening with the polling, but this poll doesn't make any rational sense.

Obama and McCain deadlocked 48-48 in the Shenandoah Valley? That's extremely strange.

Survey USA also has a reverse gender gap, with Obama leading among men by a larger margin than among women.

Either the nation has shifted enormously in the last week, or this poll is screwy. Until evidence indicates otherwise, I hold with the latter option.

This poll is BS.. I live in the tidewater area of VA and I see more support for McCain/Palin then I did for Bush in 00 or 04. I was in Virginia Beach 2 days ago and did not see one Obama sign. I saw countless number of McCain/Palin signs. Something is just not right about any of these polls here in VA.

This looks like part of a larger trend.

The Democrat blame on the Republicans for the financial crisis stuck.

My belief is that the crisis was cooked-up by big-money Democrat supporters, like Soros, and driven by their operatives in the government.

They were able to successfully blame the Republicans.

Pelosi’s speech worked.

Unless the Republicans can convince the nation that the Democrats are responsible for the financial crisis, they are toast.

And, given that the Republicans have no major media outlet on their side, the chances of them being able to get their message out, without editorial tampering by the media, is virtually ZERO.

The only hope we have is to appeal to our God in Heaven to stop this Communist and his thug minions.

Without God’s direct intervention, we will get the government we deserve.

I am not believing ANY of these polls, if the media is in the tank you can bets be sure the polls are tilted to Obama. No way people are this stupid. Makes no sense.

The polling is all over the place in Virginia. A Suffolk poll out today actually has Obama +12 in Virginia, 51-39, and CNN-Time has Obama +9 in Virginia. But Mason-Dixon has McCain +3.

Most polls are showing some kind of Obama lead, but there are still a few out there showing a McCain lead. It's really all over the map. I don't know what to make of it.

I guess I better learn to do that little marching, drill team routine the Obama acolytes do in that video currently circulating.

"Obama inspired me to turn in my wife for making anti-diversity remarks in her sleep. Hunh!"
