Despite Virginia’s rightward shift since 2009, at least one poll suggests that Sen. Jim Webb would start out a 2012 reelection race in decent shape. Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm, found that Webb would lead former Sen. George Allen by 49 percent to 45 percent, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling by 49-38, and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli by 49-39. If Webb were to bow out, former Gov. Tim Kaine would lead Allen 50-44, Bolling 48-41, and Cuccinelli 50-39. Former Congressman Tom Perriello, however, would struggle to hold the seat for the Democrats.
I’d be interested in seeing what other firms, like Rasmussen, have to say about the race. Webb won the seat from Allen by a 0.3 percent margin in 2006, and I speculated in a recent column for the main site that he would have trouble holding it next time.

The really important issue today is to thwart any attempt by Sally Jenkins to obtain part ownership of an NFL team.

I would hardly consider this spread at this time a ringing endorsement for Webb.

Dim Webb is toast if Allen runs.

PPP is not a credible polling outfit, and, posting this article about the results is pathetic.

Poll Problems.
1) Registered Voters.
2) McDonnell 44% approval. The man almost won 60% of the vote.?!

As a Virginian,we can't wait to vote Jim Webb out of office.He has lied to Virginians.
Tim Kaine is an absolute joke.He's going no where in Virginia.
PPP is a Democratic Polling Co.
Make No Mistake,these guys are going no where in Va.We can't wait to VOTE.
