You-Gov Final Virginia Poll--Obama leads by 2

Democratic President Barack Obama leads nominally over Republican challenger Mitt Romney in Virginia, 48% Obama to 46% Romney, in a YouGov poll of 1,497 likely voters statewide.

In Virginia (Oct 31-Nov 3):
Obama has a marginal lead among likely voters who are Independents, 44% for Obama and 41% for Romney.
Obama enjoys a solid 55%-36% advantage in the Beltway suburbs of DC, and leads marginally 51%-46% in the Northern Virginia suburbs that are further out from DC. Obama also holds a marginal advantage in the traditional bellweather Tidewater region, Obama 50%-Romney 45%. Obama leads in Richmond and the rest of the east, 49% Obama-41% Romney, and Romney easily carried central and western Virginia, 59% Romney-36% Obama.

The race for the U.S. Senate continues to be a barn-burner, at 46% for former Republican Senator George Allen and 46% for former Democratic governor Tim Kaine.

The poll was conducted online October 31-November 3, 2012.
