SurveyUSA: Obama Opens Lead in Virginia
A new SurveyUSA poll in Virginia shows Sen. Barack Obama has moved to a six point lead over Sen. John McCain, 51% to 45%. Compared to a similar poll two weeks ago, Obama is up 4, McCain is down 4.

Key findings: "In the Washington DC suburbs, Obama now polls at 59% and leads McCain by 21 points. Obama leads by 10 in Southeast VA and by 4 in Central VA. McCain's regional advantage is confined to the Shenandoah, where he is 14 points atop Obama."

"Among women, Obama led by 6 points before Sarah Palin was named to the GOP ticket, now leads by 16."

Earlier: ARG shows McCain leading by two points.

1. You are welcome.

*takes bow*


:rofl:

I've been saying for months that we will go blue. This is wonderful news.

[Perky]

5. Hey I want some props too....LOL

I have been saying the same thing. THis btw is nearly identical to what we saw in the Potomac Primary. THe only place Clinto was ahead was in the Shenandoah

[Symarip]

2. I should have bookmarked my statements from months ago

Since I moved to NOVA I can tell you first hand, there is no way McCain is taking this state. Northern Virginia has become very cosmopolitan and the state, as a whole, has a large African American population. This puppy is going blue and staying blue.

[Captain Hilts]

4. There's MORE to the state than Northern VA. nt

[Symarip]

6. huh?

There's life below Fredricksburg? Surely, you jest.

:evilgrin:

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Bite me.

Yeah, I went there.


:rofl:

[Symarip]

9. That's it!

You can have someone else sample your cooking. You're dead to me. Not that you ever existed since you live below the Fredricksburg existence border.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Ha. Mr. is taking BabyMidlo into that fiery Hell we call Fredericksburg

this afternoon. She has a field hockey game.

They should be afraid. Very afraid.

[Symarip]

14. OMFG!

They're venturing into the city. Don't talk to strangers up in them parts. Them's the devil!

[Captain Hilts]

8. There's Pierce's Pitt Pure Pulled Pork Barbeque in Lightfoot! nt

[Symarip]

11. Symarip's Pulled Pork

Is in his backyard in the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. MMMMMmmmm.

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Sooooo good. There used to be one here, but it closed.

Pierce's is delicious.

[Captain Hilts]

16. Isn't Satterwhite's, "Home of the Mamouth Burger" around there?

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Doesn't ring a bell.

[Captain Hilts]

19. How 'bout Gus Serafim's "Celebrity Room" on Route 1. With the special "Elvis Room?"

Dial 1-800 - COME-EAT

3. Imagine the panic on these boards if McCain led by 5% in PA

Needless to say, the DU Worry Brigade won't comment on this poll.

[Bake]

21. Thrilled about VA, worried about PA.

We need as many states as possible, since Ohio isn't looking too good at this point.

Bake

[Robbins]

10. Great

The only problem Is too many Ignore polls with Obama In the lead In Virginia In maps.

[Schulzz]

18. There was a poll last week that showed McCain leading by 9 and ruined the average for Obama

But that was clearly an outlier, every other poll has it either close or trending in Obama's favor.

[GodlessBiker]

15. Hot Damn! This is sweet.

[PresidentObama]

20. Yes, We Will. I hope Virginia turns blue.

[Zero Division]

22. SurveyUSA is one of the best pollsters, too. Good news.
