Both candidates take 46% of the vote with George Allen up two points from PPP’s last poll on the race in July. Kaine continues to lead among women 50-39, while Allen gains more support from men, now 53-40. Tim Kaine now takes 86-6 of the Democratic support, up two points from July, while George Allen now has 88-4 of Republicans, up one point from the previous poll.

“The Virginia Senate race continues to be inside the margin of error,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Neither candidate has been able to separate himself and it seems unlikely that will happen between now and November either.”


The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Virginia shows Republican George Allen and Democrat Tim Kaine each drawing 45% of the vote. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here

Since the last US Census (2010) showed that Hispanic population almost doubled in a decade, to 632000. That´s 8% of the Virginia Residents.

Kaine uses ads that are in Spanish, since he speaks fluent Spanish.



AlLen uses Marco Rubios face on his campaign website.
