Quinnipiac poll: Obama leads Rmoney - in Virginia!

A new Quinnipiac poll in Virginia shows President Obama pulling ahead of Mitt Romney in a general election match up, 47% to 43%. In late December, Romney was ahead by two points, 44% to 42%.

Obama also leads Rick Santorum 49% to 41%, tops Ron Paul 47% to 40%, and crushes Newt Gingrich 51% to 37%.

Said pollster Peter Brown: "The keys are the president's improved standing among independent voters and women in the Old Dominion."

And, by the way, how many good Dems in VA are running for seats in the House? Can we somehow get this surge to mean more than another 4 years of Obama with another Republitard House of Reps?
