With eight days to go and Sen. John McCain now claiming Sen. Barack Obama is the most liberal candidate ever to run for president, here’s the latest from a statewide opinion poll which was conducted by VCU:
Likely Virginia voters prefer Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama over Republican nominee John McCain by an 11-point margin, according to a new statewide survey released today by Virginia Commonwealth University. The survey also finds Mark Warner, the Democratic candidate for U.S Senate, holds a strong lead over his Republican opponent, Jim Gilmore.
VCU’s Commonwealth Poll finds 51 percent of likely Virginia voters prefer Obama, compared with 40 percent for McCain. And in the U.S. Senate race, 61 percent of likely voters prefer Warner and 27 percent prefer Gilmore.
The Commonwealth Poll was conducted by telephone with 902 registered voters and 817 likely voters Oct. 20 through Oct. 22, 2008. The margin of error for the poll is plus or minus 4 percentage points for registered voters and likely voters, respectively.
