RCP Poll: Virginia Poll: R 49%, 0 44%

RCP ^ | 9-11-12

[Arthurio]

On the days of September 8th and 9th, Gravis Marketing, a non-partisan research company, and Capitol Correspondent conducted a survey of 2,238 likely voters in the state of Virginia. The survey covered the same questions as the August survey, which comprised questions regarding the presidential election, Virginia’s senate race, the direction of the United States, and the effect of a libertarian candidate on Romney and Obama. Overall, from August to the most recent survey, Obama’s 44% to 40% lead has turned into a Romney lead of 49% to 44% in the most recent poll. Interestingly, Obama didn’t lose votes, rather Romney gained previously unsure voters or voters that previously planned on voting for a different candidate.

Who is Ahead in the Senate?

I hope Allen gets back in the Senate. Romney needs to win Ohio though. Is it possible for Romney to win without Ohio?

>> We’re loosing: Bad poll!

We’re misspeling: Bad cat!

[Nervous Tick]

>> Lets ignore ALL polls

I agree. Checks and surbs and hunkies too.

[SoFloFreeper]

Smack down.

I think, IIRC, that this is the company that recently had Romney up by 15 points in Florida.

Can anyone verify?

I talked to a pollster earlier this year during the Republican primaries .... was honest, too. The problem was the way the questions were constructed .... definitely didn’t ask the ones I wanted to answer.

[Zajko]

Interestingly, if anyone wants to put their money where their mouth (or opinion) is here, some bookmakers, such as UK outfit Ladbrokes, STILL have Obama strong favorite to win Virginia:

Sounds good to me.

It also shows Romney ahead +3 in Ohio.

[Michael.SF.]

Is it possible for Romney to win without Ohio?

Yes, by several scenarios.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Could it be that many of us here in the trenches will not talk to a pollster?

I dunno... I keep hoping one will call here. I could use the entertainment. :-)

I hang upon them...one of them was Rasmussen.

[SoFloFreeper]

Romney was ahead by 11 points in a NC poll released yesterday. It also shows him getting 30% of the black vote. That’s a bad poll.

Are you certain? NC voted for traditional marriage (blacks supported traditional marriage in a big way in that vote) and the VERY NEXT DAY Obamugabe went on tv to tell everyone he had "evolved" to the point where he now celebrates sodomy.

Blacks in NC, perhaps, felt betrayed.

[NeoCaveman]

Romney needs to win Ohio though. Is it possible for Romney to win without Ohio?

Only if he wins NC, VA, IA, CO, NV, FL and Wisconsin, and maybe NH. So it's possible but it's like drawing an inside straight in poker.

Malfunctioning space bar alert: “I hang up on them...”

[SoFloFreeper]

Let’s not find out.

[Signalman]

OK, OK I’m putting my cyanide pill down...

[SE Mom]

Lets ignore ALL polls until the end of Oct.

I try, I am better than I was. I read them here now instead of going to the poll sites!

[stylin19a]

holy crap. how did those numbers get passed the censors ?

[Ingtar]

I would love to see those scenarios. Since Romney appears to be doing worse in Michigan and Pennsylvania than Ohio, I cannot see him taking either of those two and losing Ohio. The same holds true for Colorado, Nevada, and (probably) Iowa. What state(s) can he get the eleven electoral votes needed to get 270?
