Most recent polling numbers in New Jersery (10/17) are: McGreevey (D) 49%, Schundler (R) 39%, Undecided 12%. Source: Quinnipiac University.
The good guys are ten points behind in both races, ten days before the election. Not good. Dubya needs to start stumping for Earley and Schundler.
Yep...but those numbers from the Washington Post are totally fabricated!! Every poll I've seen lately has Warner and Earley neck-and-neck.
FReegards...MUD
Poll puts Warner lead at 10 points
LOS ANGELES TIMES/ WASHINGTON POST NEWS SERVICE Oct 28, 2001
Democrat Mark R. Warner holds a 10-percentage point lead over Republican Mark L. Earley in the governor's race, according to a new Washington Post poll.
Warner leads Earley 51 percent to 41 percent among all likely voters statewide. The margin widens to 24 percentage points in Warner's home base of Northern Virginia.
The Post poll interviewed 1,010 likely voters from Monday to Thursday. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Last week's poll's margin was little different from one the newspaper conducted in August, which showed Warner with an 11-percentage point lead statewide.
An independent poll taken a week earlier showed Warner and Earley in a statistical dead heat. The survey by Mason-Dixon Political/Media Research Inc. of Columbia, Md., showed Earley within 3 percentage points of Warner - within the poll's 4-point margin of error.
Mason-Dixon put Warner at 45 percent, Earley at 42 percent and Libertarian William Redpath at 1 percent, with 12 percent undecided.
A Mason-Dixon poll taken in mid-September showed Warner ahead of Earley by 6 percentage points. That poll also showed Warner with a hefty lead in Northern Virginia.
The Times-Dispatch/NBC12 Poll, also taken in mid-September, showed Warner leading Earley by 3 percentage points, 39 percent to 36 percent, within the poll's 5.1 percentage point variable for error. Sixteen percent were undecided, and 1 percent backed Redpath. Seven percent gave no answer.

Also, Scott poll had : Warner 44% Earley 40% last week( Margin of error was 5%)
WJLA for the week of Oct 22 : Warner 49% Earley 46%( margin of error was 4%)
You have got to be kidding me. We have seven polls in the past 3-4 weeks showing the VA race tied or within the margin of error, yet you take this one poll from the ComPost as Gospel.
I never ceased to be amazed around this place.
Yeah...that's a BS poll, everyone else has Earley trailing but within the margin of error. Of course, Warner has been spending so much money on the airwaves portryaing himself as a Fiscal Conservative that he's probably got a few people confused. Lynwood Holton's ads don't help either.
Yes, as soon as possible.
