  • Final Virginia Poll
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 2, 2008 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Obama headed for comfortable win in Virginia Raleigh, N.C. – Public Policy Polling’s final Virginia survey finds Barack Obama with a 52-46 lead in the state. Obama led in all seven polls PPP conducted in Virginia this year. Obama’s lead is down from 52-43 last week, an indication that undecided voters might be moving toward John McCain. Nonetheless Obama is holding strong over the 50% mark. Obama is winning more Republican voters (13%) than McCain is Democratic voters (9%). Obama is also holding a slight lead with independents, 49-47. Obama has held tight at 42% of the white vote since last week. McCain’s share has increased from 53% to 56%. That’s not going to be good enough for him given the 20% black portion of the electorate, and Obama’s 91-9 lead within that group. “Virginia has really become a firewall for Barack Obama,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Even if he ends up losing in places like Florida and Ohio, it still seems pretty certain that he’ll win here, and there aren’t a lot of scenarios where he wins Virginia and doesn’t take the Presidency along with him.” Obama is winning every age group except senior citizens and leads with both male and female voters. In Virginia’s Senate race Democrat Mark Warner is set for an easy victory.
