New Ras poll for VA +2 for Romney (down 1 from last week)

Convenient how that now puts 2 Ras polls into the aggregates at pollster Blaukraut Oct 2012 #4

To be fair, PPP has three VA polls at Pollster. Jennicut Oct 2012 #5

There really is method to his madness. Flood the aggregates with rep friendly polls to keep the margin artificially close. I don't see how that helps Romney, though.

They polled for the League of Conservation Voters once on the 15th and then Health Care for America Now last week and then this week.

Overall, the trend is looking better on VA for Obama.
