Interesting.

Kaine gets more Democrats than Allen gets Republicans and Kaine also leads among Independents. Yet overall Allen leads.

That means that the sample consists of more Republicans than Democrats.

And then you know that it's probably a bad sample. It should be an amusingly close race either way though.
