The latest Rasmussen poll of the Old Dominion gives Barack Obama a slim edge over John McCain with four weeks to go until Election Day:
The latest Fox News/Rasmussen Reports poll in Virginia finds Barack Obama leading John McCain 50% to 48%.
This represents the third consecutive poll where Obama has held a modest lead over his opponent. In last week’s Fox/Rasmussen release, Obama led 50% to 47%. Just four days prior, he held a five percentage point lead.
McCain leads among men, 54% to 44%, while Obama has a 55% to 42% advantage among women. White voters in Virginia favor McCain by a 59% to 38% margin, while non-white voters favor Obama, 82% to 16%
While Rasmussen shows Virginia being a tighter race than the two polls I noted yesterday, it’s fairly clear that Virginia is leaning Democratic this year and that John McCain has an uphill fight ahead of him if he’s going to keep the state in the Republican column.
