The McCain-Obama fight for Virginia: a battle of polls as well

October 2, 2008 |  4:54 pm

From the dueling poll department:

** On Wednesday, a Time magazine/CNN poll of 684 voters in Virginia conducted within the last week gave Barack Obama an eye-popping 9 percentage lead over John McCain, 53% to 44%.

** Today, a new survey of 625 voters in the same state over roughly the same time frame by the Mason-Dixon Polling and Research company showed it McCain 48%, Obama 45%.

Whom to believe?

Perhaps the best posture to take in tracking the fight for the Old Dominion's crucial 13 electoral votes is to keep on mind the aggregate for recent polls compiled at Pollster.com. Those results: Obama, 47.8%; McCain 47.5%.
