The incumbent Democrat's lead has grown to 15-points, according to the lastest News7 SurveyUSA poll...

Sigh, every week he’s on the news announcing some new federal project “he brought” to the district!
The area is so poor but has so much potential you’d think it would occur to someone that he’s giving away a whole lot more than he’s getting. But no. He’s as fat and safe a tick as Pelosi.
Here’s a link to Griffith’s latest ad. It’s one with Obama saying “I love Rick Boucher “ over and over:

Well, there’s still hope.This looks to be a transformational election year.
Which state?
rural VA
WDBJ , Roanoke, VA
We won’t win them all but if we win the majority of them it will be good for all.
Gosh, that Boucher is a liar right out of the box. The adjournment was a “non-issue?” How could that be when 38 Dems voted against Evita?
I never thought Boucher was going to lose his seat. It’s as if the people that live here are just programmed to vote for him, and they do so every time. I was hoping that enough people would be pissed at 0bama and the national dems, they would turn out and pull the lever against him out of protest. That could still happen. If he wins by low double digits(10-14 points), it will signify a ‘wave’ on election night. Most of the time he wins by 15-25, if he even has opposition.
This is the kind of polling that convinces me that American’s attitudes about the social welfare state simply has not changed very much. Sadly, US citizens still seem to support big government.
You’re right, but I always feel that we should win them all. Sometimes I marvel at how many people vote for politicians leading our nation to destruction.
He voted for cap and trade, and the big bailouts:

Heck, I moved up here from Bobby Scott’s gerrymandered district. This is a lot more competitive a race than any I saw down there.
I love the conservative ways of people up here, but I wish they’d be a little more ambitious about- well, about the future.
I’ve lived here my entire life(35yrs), and it has never been this bad. It has morphed into a welfare state/retirement community over the past 15 years. Trade policies have devastated what manufacturing we had. Now, the only time stores are really busy is on government handout day(which was today, and it sucked). I usually try to do 3 days of shopping the day before, so I can avoid the rush at the grocery store.
Just donated to Morgan’s campaign and I am from District 10. I will get others to do the same.
Thanks! We who live in SW VA hate D-Boucher. He has been in Congress for 28 years and even voted FOR CAP AND TRADE, which will cost this area many coal jobs if it passes.
Donate to Republican Morgan Griffith here....and sooner money is better than later money.

I still think it’s an uphill climb for Griffith, but the modeling on this poll is skewed from Survey USA’s last poll of the district.
This is heavily weighted for Democrat turnout. I don’t see that happening.
My son’s soon-to-be-former inlaws live down there and just vote Dem by rote. They’re more conservative than I ever thought to be, but just can’t break that D addiction.
Heck, he actually helped write the bill.
He claims he made it better for coal.
Of course that’s just a show, “better” than awful is still awful.
