Rasmussen: VA: Kaine 46% Kilgore 44% (Kaine Takes Lead)

[Mark E. Smith]

October 28, 2005 - For the first time this year, Tim Kaine has moved ahead of Jerry Kilgore in a RasmussenReports election poll.

Kaine, the Democrat, now earns 46% of the vote while Kilgore attracts 44% in the race to be Virginia's next Governor. State Senator Russell Potts attracts 4% of the vote, up from 2% a week ago.

1. Please let Kaine win. I can't stand the idea of Kilgore in there.

[justiceischeap]

2. Voting is next Tuesday, right? (eom)

[Zynx]

3. Nope. Nov 8

[TheVirginian]

4. Just like the poll from Monday that had Kilgore ahead...

Its within the margin of error. Statistically, this race is too close to call.

[Zynx]

5. I get the sense that Kaine has momentum in the race.

However small it is, but I think he has it.

6. That feels about right

I am in VA and the race feels like Kaine could take the lead. Kilgore's death penalty attacks gained very little traction and Kilgore cannot separate herself from George W.

22. "Herself?"

Intentional or Freudian slip?

7. That is what I hear the Va.Dems think the outcome will be

a win by 2.

Still too close to call. Volunteer.

Barack Obama, Bobby Scott, and TIM will be holding a rally at VCU (907 Floyd Ave.) Sunday at 2:30

9. Same people at a rally in Norfolk at 12:30 PM

Lake Taylor HS.

14. What town is VCU in?

[underpants]

18. Richmond

pretty much right in the heart of the city

I understand that that they will be in Norfolk earlier in the day

10. I wonder if Kilgore with monkeyman for his speech this morning in Norfolk

There's no fucking way monkeyboy won Virginia in 04.

No fucking way.

11. Skipping Bush's Va. Speech Isn't a Snub, Kilgore Says

So this suit cutting and pasting his name onto W's campaign says this isn't a snub....rrrrright.

BTW- you are right. No way.

12. Do they use Die bold there?

[underpants]

13. Yes they use just about every system you could imagine

All of them all over the place.

[xxqqqzme]

20. as an extreme outsider (other coast)

this is prime diebold MO. As long as the polls R 'too close to call', the election can be rigged.

[Judi Lynn]

16. Great news! Kaine is far, far brighter and more capable of the job. n/t

[yellowcanine]

17. A race that close this late comes down to TURNOUT. Unfortunately in the

recent past, these situations have not been kind to Democrats in Virginia. A popular Dem guv will help but it is not enough. Dems in VA must make a special effort to turn out in "HUGH" numbers and then hope some of the Bush woes depress pubbie turnout.

[davidinalameda]

19. it's been too close to call for the past few weeks

it all depends on who gets out their voters

I think Kaine has a good shot

[loudsue]

21. An easy poll so that Diebold can successfully FIX those numbers.

The spin will be that "the undecideds" broke for the repuke.

NOT a problem for vote-counting computers, whose programming is kept secret.

:kick::kick::kick:

23. I hope everyone is doing everything they can for Kaine

If the Republicans pick up another governorship (making their total 29) in the wake of all these scandals, I think the media will be all over it.
