Interesting that the only recent poll that doesn't show this as a squeaker is the Zogby Interactive. I hate Zogby's "interactive" methods (perhaps they would be less biased in a State like Virginia) but it does suggest something that might be important in Virginia.
Zogby included Barr in its survey options...who carried 6% of the vote. If these were McCain voters it would mesh precisely with the other polls.
How come rasmussen doesnt include Barr or Nader in their polls? In states like VA or NC it could have a big effect.
Maybe Barr and Nader have not filed for the election/ballot yet in those states. Nader is accepted in 12 states to date.
Nader has a map at http://www.votenader.org/
Poll shows toss-up for President, good news for Obama. I invite pollsters to project a realistic scenario where McCain loses Virginia and wins the election. As to Senate, race over and seat changes from GOP to DEM.
