Virginia is a key swing state. It's pretty big, delegate-wise, and Obummer took it in 2008. As recently as a mointh ago, it was still leaning in Obummer's direction. If the numbers are sustained, it would seem that Virginia has just swung into the Romney camp.
Virginia Poll: Romney 48, Obama 43
New trend or outlier?
12:43 PM, Jun 26, 2012 • By MICHAEL WARREN
A new poll from We Ask America http://weaskamerica.com/2012/06/26/va-co/ shows Mitt Romney leading Barack Obama in Virginia, a key swing state Obama won in 2008. Of the 1,106 likely voters in Virginia polled, 48 percent support Romney, with just over 43 percent supporting Obama and nearly 9 percent remaining undecided.
The RealClearPolitics average for Virginia, however, shows Obama with a 1.4-point lead in Virginia, and most recent polls show the president leading there by at least small margins.
The same poll also surveyed voters for the open Senate seat, where Republican George Allen is facing Democrat Tim Kaine. Forty-four percent support Allen, with only 35 percent supporting Kaine and a whopping 21 percent remaining undecided. RealClearPolitics, however, also shows a closer race, as most recent polls have actually shown Kaine with a slight lead. We Ask America's polling could reflect a rightward shift in Virginia now that both Romney and Allen have won their Republican primaries--or the results could be outliers.
