Virginia Pilot: Down to the wire, Va. still too close to call, poll shows
A Mason-Dixon poll apparently commissioned by an in state newspaper in Virginia. Doesn't show up on RCP. Take it for what it's worth.

3. Of course!
I'm surprised it took him this long to post this poll, which was released a few days ago.

4. Mason-Dixon=crappy poll
Obama's lead in VA is more like 5 to 7 points, not 3.

5. This poll is a few days old now
and it's actually an improvement for Obama. Earlier MD had him trailing. And MD has had a republican lean this election season by a few points. So it's likely Obama is up by more.

7. Fail. (Mason-Dixson is a good poll, but it's just out of date)

8. Surprise, surprise! I'm normally not one to call others concern trolls...
...but I think I will make an exception for you. How hard did you look for this article? I have yet to see you post anything positive!

I'm reading the book Predictably Irrational right now. One part of it describes people like you perfectly. You should read it. You might learn something about how to be a little more rational.

9. At least six other polls have Senator Obama between 5%-7% in Virginia
So I think that poll you have there is what they call an Outlier.
