http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_VA_1009535.pdfDemographically the major shift for Obama over the last three weeks has been among
white voters. He’s reduced what was a 60-35 deficit there to just a 52-42 one.
Since the last survey Joe Biden’s stock in the state has risen while Sarah Palin’s has
fallen. Biden’s gone from a +11 net favorability to +17 in the week following the Vice
Presidential debate, while Palin has dropped from a +2 to a -9.
“Virginia is showing the same trends as pretty much every other battleground state,” said
Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Voters are turning toward the
Democrats as concern over the economy mounts, and they’re also a lot less enamored
with Sarah Palin than they were shortly after the Republican convention.”
