Washington Post finds Obama up 8 in Virginia.

52 Obama. 44 Romney among likely voters. Looking like a repeat of '08 in Virginia.

[Reds4]

Eight points seems like too much.. Obama is ahead there.. but not by 8 if national polls showing a 3 or 4 point lead are correct.

[LiberalJunkie]

A bit overboard here but still expect Obama leading here.

[pa2011]

Maybe but think the Post has a pretty good track record of polling in Virginia. McCain only received 46 percent in Virginia, so not out of the question that Romney, after DNC and all the missteps, is also stuck around 44 percent there as well.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Virginia seems to be slipping away from Mitt.  PPP, Marist/NBC, and now ABC/Washington Post all have moderate leads for Obama, all right around the magic number of 50%. 

Having Goode on the ballot doesn't help, either. 

Clearly a lean Obama at this point. 

[Sbane]

So the east trends Democrat and the west trends Republican? I guess that kinda makes sense if you think about the issues at play....

[Likely Voter]

there are some mixed messages coming from the polls. VA is another tipping point state that should be close to the national avg, like CO.

So are we to believe Obama is up 8 and down 2 at the same time?  

If you take all the state polls coming this week, there is a lot of divergence and I cant tell who is trending

[Umengus]

party id: D +8

I: 35 %
D: 32 %
R: 24%

exit poll 2008:

D: 39%
R: 32 %
I: 27 %

so, big LOL

Usually the polls don't really line up in the weeks after the conventions.

At the same time, Rasmussen's polls are obvious junk and should be ignored.

This 52-44 result is actually the same result as the final WaPo poll in VA in 2008.

Of course we know that Obama won VA by 6.3%, so the WaPo poll was only off by a 1.7% margin.

Which would confirm we are looking at a 2008-ish environment. But, hacks gonna hack...

in 2008, the last rasmussen poll gave O+4... not so bad...

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I just cannot believe he leads by more than 5% in Virginia.

Yeah, at the end of the race when he wanted to claim he had a smidge of credibility he made up some numbers that fit within the general consensus. Rasmussen doesn't poll, he makes stuff up.

Sorry, mondale84, but my APStats teacher from high school was actually polled by Rasmussen in 2010.

You don't need to say it, we all know you think that when you consider OH, FL, VA, CO, IA dead even when the only pollster to say they are close is Rassy and even he gives Obama the edge. You're to the right of Scotty when it comes to your trolling and it's getting old real fast.

others pollsters have shown close races in these states: ppp in WI, SUSA in CO,... and some have shown Romney in lead position.

Don't confuse him with facts, Umengus.  Given his utter disdain for them, he ought to be a Republican.
