TN:
Ford DSCC polling
Ford 48%
Corker 43%

This may been posted before , but this is the first time Rasm has Webb leading in the polls. Momentum favors Webb indeed.

Go, Go, Go, make Macacawitz eat that ham sandwich!!

This is a very good sign. If this trend sticks around, it looks like we will win Virginia!

that I'd be for Webb no matter what.

The Rasmussen poll -- which often tilts toward the GOP candidate -- is encouraging here. Let's push hard and elect a good man for that job instead of the man who holds it now.

war veteran.

IMO, I think that Webb is now our best possibility for that 6th seat. Corker is unfortunately on the rebound and it's hard to see how Ford wins this one unless turnout for Dems is very high. If Webb really is at 51% then I think that he will win. And I will be so happy if he does.

New Poll Alert: Webb Beating Allen

October 30, 2006
By: Phil Singer, DSCC

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) today released new polling data collected over the weekend showing Jim Webb beating George Allen in the Virginia Senate race. Go to www.fudgereport.net to learn more about the brewing controversy over Allen’s arrest records:

* Webb beats Allen by a five point margin (43-38). With leaners, Webb beats Allen by a four point margin (47-43).

* Bush’s job approval numbers are terrible – 53% of Virginia voters disapprove of the job Bush is doing (45% strongly disapprove).

* Interestingly, the voters sampled in the poll said they voted for Bush over Kerry in 2004 by an eight point margin (50-42), a result that mirrors the actual margin Bush beat Kerry by in their presidential contest (54-46).

* The poll was conducted by Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group and surveyed 811 likely voters. It was conducted from October 26 through October 29 and its margin of error was +/-3.5%.

So today we have a conservative poll (Rasmussen) and a liberal poll (DSCC) showing the same trend, Webb pulling forward in the home stretch. GOTV Virginia!!!

But again this is still good news. I REALLY hope Webb pulls this one out.

But this is not a fluke. Consider the Real Clear Politics average, which excludes partisan polls and the unreliable Zogby Interactive: Webb is ahead by 1.0%, the first time he has ever led in that poll. And a CNN poll that was conducted during the same timeframe as the one by Rasmussen puts Web ahead by 4.0%

You can stop rubbing your eyes, my friend, what you're seeing is real!

especially from Rasmussen. Now if only I didn't have to vote on Diebold in my very Republican district.

I may have to go back on the Zanex until November 8! And once again I will repeat "I WILL NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THESE PRDICTIONS UNTIL I SEE FAT BOY HASTERT WADDELLING OFF THE PODIUM AFTER HE HANDS THE GAVEL TO SPEAKER PELOSI...I WILL NOT BELIEVE IT UNTIL THEN..IF THE SENATE COMES ALONG AS WELL THNE I WILL HAVE TO HAVE A HUGE BOTTLE OF CHAMPAIGN AND DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY!!!

drew nearer.

I'm sensing a landslide--a major takeover of the House, and near parity in the House.

(Don't want to say it out loud, though...)

Newsprism

Trying not to get my hopes up.

Rock on, Democrats! Rock on!

Tester also hit 51% for the first time, so that race looks pretty good regardless of it being tight.

I get excited. Rasmussen bounces around too much for me.

Allen will pull it out. He's just too strong here.

Real Clear Politics average: Webb + 1.0%

...we do need to work hard on GOTV. We MUST get our people to the polls.

Don't let these numbers work you into a false sense of security.

yes!

Keep calling the part time voters people!!

Let's rock & Roll!!!

Get them out there to vote!!

:kick:

Let's take our country back!!

:popcorn: :rofl: :spray:

I think the Webb pervert writings impact is not entirely sunk in yet, but it will.

aaarrrggg! I did wonder if maybe Allen used the novel story because they saw some weakness in his poll numbers. I hope Rasmussen is wrong.

I am waiting for his defense to sink in. His defense is almost as bad as what he wrote. He equates lesbianism with pedophilia.

I heard Rasmussen on Hannity referring to the 'racist' ad's against Ford, No bias there.

I'd think that the opposite would be more likely.

I have been worried the book stuff would boomerang and be looked upon by people as Allen accusing Webb of being a child molester. Will will know soon if it has or not.

Is Rassmussen still doing his 3 day rolling average? If so these numbers would reflect Friday, Saturday and Sunday...and weekend polls are always suspect. I've seen several articles endeavoring to debunk that claim as an urban myth but I don't buy it. Weekend polls favor the 'Rats.

Recommended with delight.

Webb's done it already, but he really needs to drive it home this week with voters that he's still wearing his son's combat boots.

This is his Ace of Spades and trumps Allen on the biggest issue in the election: Iraq & national security.

Allen's at 46 % with or without "leaners", which means at this point Allen can expect 0 breakers (incumbents almost never get the break anyways).

:woohoo:

No wonder he's limboing with desperation tactics like politicizing decades-old acclaimed works of fiction. Allen may have to start looking for a real job next month!
