THE POLL: Virginia Commonwealth University, presidential race in Virginia among likely voters (13 electoral votes).
THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama 51 percent, John McCain 40 percent.
OF INTEREST: Obama's strongest regions are northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, the latter dominated by military interests where McCain, a former Navy pilot, should be strong. Obama dominated among respondents who regarded the economy and health care as the most important issues. McCain was strong among people whose foremost concern was terrorism.
THE DETAILS: Conducted by telephone Oct. 20-22 by VCU's Center for Public Policy of 817 likely voters. The margin of sampling error plus or minus 4 percentage points.

THE DETAILS: Conducted by telephone Oct. 22-25 among 784 likely voters. The margin of sampling error plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Can you post the internals?
Lessee, Bush won VA by 4-5%? And Obama is up 11%? A 16% swing. Uh huh.
I can’t wait until election night and all of the commentators are saying the polls were flawed etc. and they start having to eat crow.
I will be laughing hard along with all of you.
I always look forward to your posts!
Hot smelly Barbara Streisand!
Wow! A university poll that favors Senator Obama!
I can’t wait to see what the internals of both of these polls look like, Dems + 10% - 12%?
McCain will win VA and now I’m off to his Virginia Beach ofice to do my part to see that he does.
Actually, President Bush won by 9 in 2004.
Quit posting this garbage.

“just another story to suppress the vote..obama has it in the bag so just stay home..”
This could work on the potential Obama voters as well as McCain voters.
