News-7 Poll: Webb surges ahead of Allen
Survey Details
Democrat Jim Webb has surged ahead of Republican George Allen in the last poll of the campaign, conducted for News-7 by SurveyUSA.
The survey shows Webb with 52% of the likely voters, with 44% going to Allen.
In five previous SurveyUSA tracking polls, the race was a virtual tie with Allen slightly ahead. Other late polls show the race much closer. A Mason-Dixon poll released over the weekend had Webb ahead by a point, and a Gallup poll released today has Allen up by three.
SurveyUSA interviewed 1,000 Virginia adults from November 3 through November 5. Of them, 840 were registered to vote. Of them, 741 were judged to be "likely" voters. Survey details reflect Likely Voters.

Posted: 11/7/06 at 6:23pmI'm remembering the exit polls in 2004, which I just read about in the Woodward book ... when Bush and company gathered at the White House expecting to lose. So I'm nervous about any premature gloating. I just saw Nancy Pelosi bopping around, commenting (off camera) about switching offices. I think it's insanity to assume any of these races are a lock, but we've waited so long for change, it's hard not to hang onto optimism.
