Virginia remains a nail-biter in the first post-debate survey of the key battleground state, with Mitt Romney edging slightly ahead.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Virginia Voters, taken last night, shows Romney earning 49% support to Obama’s 48%. Three percent (3%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Yeah....ok LOL
Good news!
Guess debates matter after all. Say goodbye communists!!!
The Obama “47%” commercial (only words are Romney’s from the tape, with a montage of sad-looking white people) has literally been on continuous loop on Virginia TV. If not every commercial break, it’s every other commercial break.
This is with a D+3 oversample.
My gut tells me there should be less D's and more I's because the R's are such a dirty word for the D's that they'll only consider calling themselves an I to show the D's they're pissed off.....
I know that sounded silly as described, but I just need get to work now.....
We have two more to go, one in front of a bunch of "undecideds" chosen by Gallup, plus whoever moderates the Veep debate will stand in front of Biden, glaring at Ryan, asking him questions all night long like "Mr. Ryan, when will you stop beating your wife and hating women?".
It ain't over.
It ain’t over till the skinny man cries!!
This poll will never see the light of day in the MSM because it shatters there propaganda surveys.
Mr.Biden,there’re won’t be death panels under our medicare plan!
Good, people will get sick of it and move on before the debate.
Really? D+3? Virginia is coming around...
I hope that the campaigns and independent expenditures have better internals than this. Romney has zero chance of being elected President if he still fighting for Virginia, North Carolina or Indiana at Halloween. If Obama’s pulled up stakes there and the fight is on in Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin and Colorado, than we’ll have something to be excited about.

It is noteworthy that in 210, the long serving Representative Democrat Rick Boucher was thrown out by a Republican. That means that in part of Virginia, 2010 is not 2008
Romney is not going to loose VA, NC, or IN.
0bama is in Fairfax today, Romney is in FL over the weekend.
According to the cross tabs (I have platinum access), this sample was 57% female. Small rat over sample, but huge female over sample.
Rural western Virginia is covered in Romney signs while the there is little enthusiasm in the Urban areas...
...I would submit neither you nor anybody else knows any such thing...are you saying that simply because people are not placing signs in their yards they won’t exercise their right to vote???
...if anything, the debate has energized the lefties...now they know how crappy their candidate is at thinking on his feet, at to get elected, turnout is everything...
VA Ping!
If you want on/off the VA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
You’re probably right. I do my own personal survey of neighborhoods with signs, and cars with bumperstickers in the Northern Virginia area. Not surprisingly, there were quite a few more Obama signs in 2008. Well this year, it’s not even close. Romney signs are everywhere in people’s yards and on their cars. Hopefully that is a sign of things to come for Virginia and the nation.
Too close to tell any real impact. Will wait and see. 
I actually do believe it. Lefties in NOVA like to view themselves as intellectually superior, and Obama’s making that pretty hard for them to do.
I don’t see the signs and bumper stickers for Obama in NOVA. Not a lot of those for Romney, but more of them. I contrast that with Maryland, where the defiant left is sporting more than a few “Obama 2012” and worse, “I love Obamacare” stickers. You can smell the decay in Maryland and it’s no wonder.
Rick Boucher? You mean the draft dodger and closet smoker? Pole-smoker that is...yes I’ve heard of him and it’s a shame he had anything to do with military policy...or any other type of policy for that matter. America is better off without him..and we’d have been rid of him long ago had they gerrymandered Oliver North into his district. Of course, we could examine why it is North wasn’t gerrymandered into this district, that that has to do with some of Virginia’s half-assed GOP establishment...and this isn’t the place for that.
“Uh, uh, Jim you may want to move on to another topic...” -—Hussein Obammy (Debate #1)
Why is it you never see an over sample of WHITE MALES? Hmmmmm...
downtown Columubs - NO SIGNS. In 2008 it was saturated with Obama signs.
ADOPTION BY GENTLE CARE....Infant adoptions.

yep..... that’s him
I’m in the Shenandoah Valley attending a family reunion - lots of folks traveled from “up north” (Indiana, Illinois, etc.). EVERYONE is talking about the debate, EVERYONE is super glad Obama got his @ss handed to him. EVERONE is so fired up, we’re actually thinking about having a Romney rally of our own (sans Mitt, but that’s ok)! The Valley relatives that did attend the rally Thursday were in such traffic it took 4 hours to travel what usually takes 1 hours - the rally was delayed an hour and a half because so many folks were still trying to get there .... folks finally had to be turned away. It was quite a rally & per all accounts, Romney was ‘fired up’!!
Coming up I-81, someone is putting large banners on semi-trailers along the road. My favorite “Four more years ... for what?
Four more years of “DOPE AND BLAME”. He can smoke pot and blame Bush.
On his “HBO Real Time” show Friday night, Maher joked that Obama must have used Maher’s $1 million donation to an Obama super PAC and “spent it all on weed.”
Yeah, and Ice T said he needed to slow down on gettting stoned before the debates.. No big secret anymore, I guess.
“The Obama “47%” commercial (only words are Romney’s from the tape, with a montage of sad-looking white people) “
Uh huh. Obama attempts to lower the downscale white vote. They know Obama has failed and screwed them over, between coal regs, Obamacare and its outcomes of lower household income etc. ... but if they tell them “Romney’s not for you” they will stay home.
Debates will hopefully debunk that whole narrative.
