After two depressing Survey USA and Reuters polls showing the Allen/Senate race getting out of reach and the incumbent pulling away, this morning's Gallup survey brings welcome news. Conducted for USA Today from September 27 to October 1, the results show Sen. Allen
leading 48-45. This is well within the poll's 5% margin for error.
The results come from 597 live-dialed likely voters. The last Reuters poll put Allen at an 11-point lead, while the Survey USA poll had him with a six-point lead. Now with Webb competitive in campaign dollars (albeit behind), he is in a good position for the final weeks of the campaign.
To defeat George Allen, we will need to counter his air war. Please consider giving to James Webb today, so we can rid the US Senate of the man who popularized the term "macaca" and put in a real American who will get things done in Washington.
