A new Quinnipiac University Polling Institute survey in Virginia confirmed yet again that the state will be a battleground on both the presidential and Senate levels.

The new poll found that former Govs. George Allen (R) and Tim Kaine (D) remained neck and neck in the race for the state’s open Senate seat, while President Barack Obama was statistically tied with Mitt Romney, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.

Kaine took 45 percent to Allen's 44 percent, matching the 1-point margin the polling institute found in its last two surveys of the race in June and September. The race is expected to be a dead heat through next fall.

I can’t read their crosstabs, but the poll does show a 52 to 26% enthusiasm gap in the R’s favor.

Yeah, that's funny. For Quinnipiac, there's two kinds of states: "Blue States" and "Battleground States."

Too bad our side can't control the terms of the debate.
