New Polls
As you all know, there are a few polls out right now on the Va Governor's race.
Rasmussen Reports has Kilgore leading 43%-40% and Potts with 5%.
Mason-Dixon has Kilgore leading 41%-40% and Potts with 6%.
Washington Post has Kilgore leading 45%-41% and Potts with 5%.
Now SurveyUSA has a poll (thanks to Chad Dotson for pointing this one out) which has Kilgore leading 46%-43% and Potts with 4%.
One interesting thing about the SurveyUSA poll is that it has breakdowns for regions, urban/suburban/rural, as well as demographic results.
If you notice, in the Northeast (NOVA) Kilgore has a 46-41 edge.
Folks, if that number holds, we are smooth sailing to victory. No democrat can win statewide in Virginia if they lose NOVA by 5 points.
Another interesting statistic is that Kilgore is laying the whooping on Kaine for the youngest age bracket 51%-34%.
I am telling you folks, Gen Y is a Republican generation.

Publishing polls without knowing methodology is only giving readers a small percentage of the information they need to know. It is important is how the pollster defines 'likely voters', i.e. do they just ask people if they are going to vote? Do they ask if they have voted in previous elections? M-D polls are done with RDD's [random digit dialers] meaning it is possible that somebody that responds to the poll is not even registered to vote. Also, does anyone know what type of turnout models these companies use? In other words, have they accounted for what percentage of the vote comes out of what region and from what demographic? It matters more or less where a candidate leads/lags if there are not a lot of votes cast in that place. NOVA accounts for a huge number of voters, so we know it's a big deal. As far as Kilgore leading with younger voters, CW holds that younger folks are more conservative.

Thats true, but it will gives an idea of what type of support is out there.
The funny thing is that M-D is considered by many to be the most reputable, but it shouldn't be.
I personally believe in Rasmussen over all the others (take a look at his results in last years elections).

Some of my friends have been saying that for some time now.
They are worried Kilgore cannot relate to NOVA people. That is fine if he runs strong in SWVA to offset (yes I know the populations are far different, but if Kilgore wins SWVA by a wide margin he will win the race).
I do not think he is running as strong in SW as he should.
He should get margins around Bush's (60% in the 9th district).
I think he will get closer to 55%.
As usual, the Valley will have to win it for us.

Yep.
I am a fiscal conservative, but there aren't really any candidates who will do that (I was opposed to the tax increase and Kilgore was too but Kaine and Potts supported it). No one will really try to cut spending, so I have to goto social issues.
Kilgore is pro-gun, pro-death penalty, pro-marriage amendment (even though the governor doesnt matter). Also Kilgore thinks we need less affirmative action policies at our universities (which is a wonderful idea).
Kaine will end the death penalty if given the chance and is a pro-gun control candidate.
Potts is lair on abortion, so who knows what he will do on anything else.
So anon, why are you voting for Kaine(or Potts)?
