8. If this were Zogby, I'd say it's about a draw.

We'll see if this holds. If Obama wins Virginia by 20, that bodes well for him in Texas, Ohio, and Pa.

9. I'm not surprised

There is a lot of support and organization for Obama in Virginia and the Governor has endorsed him, and he's a popular governor. Most of the local active Democrats I know are working for Obama.

13. It'll be closer than that...

...but this poll is encouraging for Obama. Survey USA, while not perfect by any stretch, has been more accurate than others throughout the primaries.
