PPP Poll: Obama Pulls Ahead in Virginia
A new Public Policy Polling survey in Virginia shows Sen. Barack Obama expanding his lead over Sen. John McCain, 51% to 43%.
Key findings: "Obama's made tremendous strides with white voters over the last three weeks, cutting a 60-35 gap with them to 52-42. A PPP analysis earlier in the summer showed that Obama would most likely win Virginia if he could capture just 39% of the white vote, and at 42% currently with 6% still undecided it appears at this point he would reach that threshold easily."
Meanwhile, in Virginia's U.S. Senate race Mark Warner (D) continues to hold a commanding 58% to 31% lead over Jim Gilmore (R).
Well, okay, that last part was no fun. So let's compensate a little:Strategic Vision: Chambliss Faces Close Re-Election Race
Strategic Vision has the latest in a series of polls that show Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) potentially in trouble. He now barely leads challenger Jim Martin (D) by just three points, 47% to 44%.
In the presidential race, Sen. John McCain is ahead of Sen. Barack Obama in Georgia, 50% to 43%.
McConnell Loss Would Shake Up GOP Leadership
Roll Call: "With polling in Kentucky suddenly showing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) in a dead heat with Democratic upstart Bruce Lunsford, Senate Republicans are privately starting to worry their leader could be knocked off and have begun contemplating what their leadership might look like in his absence."
