Public Policy Polling
As it is everywhere, Obama�s movement in the state is being fueled by the economy. 63% of Virginia voters name it as their top issue, and within that group the Democrat has a 59-36 advantage. Demographically the major shift for Obama over the last three weeks has been among white voters. He�s reduced what was a 60-35 deficit there to just a 52-42 one. Since the last survey Joe Biden�s stock in the state has risen while Sarah Palin�s has fallen. Biden�s gone from a +11 net favorability to +17 in the week following the Vice Presidential debate, while Palin has dropped from a +2 to a -9. �Virginia is showing the same trends as pretty much every other battleground state,� said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. �Voters are turning toward the Democrats as concern over the economy mounts, and they�re also a lot less enamored with Sarah Palin than they were shortly after the Republican convention.� The race for the state�s open Senate seat continues to be a romp for Mark Warner. He leads fellow former Governor Jim Gilmore 58-31 while winning independents at a remarkable 66-20 clip. He�s also capturing 26% of the Republican vote, making it nearly impossible for Gilmore to even bring the race within 20 points.
