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 POLL: Washington Post, presidential race in Virginia among likely voters.
THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama 52 percent, John McCain 44 percent.
OF INTEREST: A month ago, the same poll showed that 52 percent felt McCain was best suited to handle the campaign against terrorism, 10 points better than Obama. Now, the poll shows that Obama has drawn almost even with McCain on the terrorism issue.
THE DETAILS: Conducted by telephone Oct. 22-25 among 784 likely voters. The margin of sampling error plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Personally, I think if we clear VA, McCain is safe.
I once thought VA couldn't go Obama. I now think we will.
no prob dude.
What happened?
It’s over if we lose VA.
Dear goodness, read that post!
McCain will hold Colorado this year....Hopefully it won’t drift any further towards the left.
McCain happened. Jefferson's state doesn't like big government "conservatives". Anybody else would probably keep VA in the fold.
All it comes down is to turnout. If we get our base out, we’ll be fine.
You’re pulling our leg......They don’t like big government McCain so they’ll go with Obama instead. LOL!!
Baloney. McCain’s less big gov’t than Bush. And Obama much more.
The other side's base is really energized. My gut tells me we're not. Heck, I'm going to the polls to vote for my Congresswoman Drake, who voted against the bailout twice, and for Gilmore, who said he would have voted against it. While I'm there I guess I'll (reluctantly) pull the lever for McCain too.
But my gut tells me it's lights out for McCain here. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt I am.
"THE POLL: Virginia Commonwealth University, presidential race in Virginia among likely voters" and were any of the responses from anyone other than colletch students?
Don't fret, you are dead wrong.
True dat. :-)
But dat ain't sayin' much.
The loss of funding to the military complex in CO is gonna hurt ALL the residents...trickle down economics, Obama-style! Same for New Mexico.
So the real answer is “Bush happened.”
Don’t buy it!!! Poll by a bunch of wet behind the ears libs.
You had better be wrong or we’re TOAST.
Voting is pointless. Think of all the time and money wasted, all they have to do is appoint ACORN to make a few phone calls and bingo, we have a winner.
