"The undecideds may be moving toward John McCain but the Democratic nominee has not lost any ground and given that he's over 50% that's a good sign for his prospects there.

More important Obama is still holding the same 42% share of the white vote that he had last week. McCain has improved from 53 to 56% within that demographic."

1. 6% Again. Why is It Always 6%?

Could it be that they have been telling us that there will be a 6% "Bradley Effect" red shift? :scared:

(Of course, we all know that the "Bradley Effect" is really the effect of Repiglickin voter suppression and vote-stealing).

2. a 6% win is good enough for me

3. I don't trust any pollster that does not clearly state Margin of Error and

other important info along with the summary of results.

This "movement" is probably just error variance/noise.

5. What do you mean? PPP clearly states all their info

6. Details in their release:

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_Virginia_1102.pdf

PPP surveyed 1,557 likely voters from October 31st to November 2nd. The survey’s
margin of error is +/-2.5%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and
weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.

4. Bush won by 8%

and VA hasn't voted for a Democratic president in over 40 years.

I'll take a 6% margin of victory for Obama.
