Virginia remains a nail-biter in the first post-debate survey of the key battleground state, with Mitt Romney edging slightly ahead.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Virginia Voters, taken last night, shows Romney earning 49% support to Obama’s 48%. Three percent (3%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The Obama “47%” commercial (only words are Romney’s from the tape, with a montage of sad-looking white people) has literally been on continuous loop on Virginia TV. If not every commercial break, it’s every other commercial break.

This is with a D+3 oversample.

Looking good although I'm still not so sure about Rasmussen's sampling percent of D/R/I this time around.

My gut tells me there should be less D's and more I's because the R's are such a dirty word for the D's that they'll only consider calling themselves an I to show the D's they're pissed off.....

I know that sounded silly as described, but I just need get to work now.....

I predict Romney will end up winning Virgina by at least a 5% margin. In 2008 the only reason Obama won was the urban vote was fired up and the rural vote was depressed. This years it's just the opposite, Rural western Virginia is covered in Romney signs while the there is little enthusiasm in the Urban areas.

We have two more to go, one in front of a bunch of "undecideds" chosen by Gallup, plus whoever moderates the Veep debate will stand in front of Biden, glaring at Ryan, asking him questions all night long like "Mr. Ryan, when will you stop beating your wife and hating women?".

It ain't over.

Good, people will get sick of it and move on before the debate.

I hope that the campaigns and independent expenditures have better internals than this. Romney has zero chance of being elected President if he still fighting for Virginia, North Carolina or Indiana at Halloween. If Obama’s pulled up stakes there and the fight is on in Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin and Colorado, than we’ll have something to be excited about.

It is noteworthy that in 210, the long serving Representative Democrat Rick Boucher was thrown out by a Republican. That means that in part of Virginia, 2010 is not 2008

0bama is in Fairfax today, Romney is in FL over the weekend.

According to the cross tabs (I have platinum access), this sample was 57% female. Small rat over sample, but huge female over sample.

...I would submit neither you nor anybody else knows any such thing...are you saying that simply because people are not placing signs in their yards they won’t exercise their right to vote???
...if anything, the debate has energized the lefties...now they know how crappy their candidate is at thinking on his feet, at to get elected, turnout is everything...
