Brief "diary" - new poll shows Webb closing in
Sorry for the brevity, this is hardly a "diary" entry. But I'm amazed I've not seen this on Kos yet. A new VA Senate poll out from Mason-Dixon, one of the most reputable firms out there, is showing Webb within four points of Allen... 46-42 (12% undecided). Previous Mason-Dixon poll had Allen up by a whopping 16%. We NEED races like Webb, Ford, etc with our Senate hopes in trouble in NJ. I wish Webb were in the lead by now after Allen's disastrous couple of weeks (I mean, what the hell does Allen need to do to lose support???); nonetheless, Allen is under 50% and Webb is only back by 4%. The MOE is 4% and the poll was conducted 9/5 to 9/7.
EDIT: By the way, this poll, as of midnight Sunday morning 9/10, is not yet on the Mason-Dixon web site. I got it from the PollingReport's subscription service. Not sure how they got it. Not on RCP or TPM yet.
