(823 posts)A new Public Policy Polling survey in Virginia, conducted on behalf of Health Care for America Now, finds Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney 49-46. PPP has conducted 5 Virginia polls during the month of October and found Obama leading in every single one, by an average margin of 2.8 points.
Key findings from the survey include:
-Obama is winning big with women (56/39), African Americans (86/11), and voters under 45 (53/41). Romneys strong groups are men (56/40), seniors (52/45), and white voters (56/39).
- One key thing to note is that Obamas deficit with white voters in Virginia (17) is smaller than our national polling has found (22). Obama's competitiveness with white voters coupled with his overwhelming support from Virginias larger than average non-white population make him the favorite there.
-Obama continues to have a strong advantage over Romney on the key issues of who voters think will stand up more for the middle class (51/45) and who they think will do more to protect Medicare (50/45). We have consistently found Obama with the edge on these measures in swing states, and it goes a long way toward explaining why hes the favorite in most of them.

(102 posts)I'd feel comfortable at +5 though.
If Obama can pick up VA then forget it, Romney is toast.
