Good news. Kilgore has steadily declined over the past month.
In an election for Governor of Virginia today, 10/17/05, 3 weeks to the vote, the outcome between Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Jerry Kilgore is too-close-to-call, according to a SurveyUSA poll of 750 likely Virginia voters, conducted for WSLS-TV in Roanoke and WUSA-TV in Washington DC. Kaine today gets 47% of the vote, up 4 points from an identical SurveyUSA poll 4 weeks ago.
I wonder if those
attack ads are backifing on Kilgore, especially among women:
Kaine today leads by 12 points among women, up 10 points in the past 4 weeks, up 17 points from SurveyUSA's first tracking poll in June.
This poll was taken October 14-16. That was after the ugly Hitler ads already started airing, right?
This is good news for Kaine. The SUSA polls last year had the momentum tearing away from the Democrats in many of their final polls. This one shows the reverse. And it also means that Democrats running for legislative races might have a little more momentum.
Tim Kaine for Governor
