Kilgore 46%
\nKaine \t36%
\nPotts\t 6%
\nUnD\t12%<\/p>\n
Poll out today<\/a> may not be great news for Tim Kaine, but it\u2019s too early to pay much attention to these polls. Virginia is a Republican state. So right now, all people are reacting to is the D or R next to the name. (Yes, you can argue that\u2019s all most people care about in the voting booth, but we\u2019re talking here about the few who can sway an election.)<\/p>\n I\u2019ve already heard rumblings that business people in Loudoun who recently heard Kilgore speak, left the place shell-shocked. He doesn\u2019t play well on the stump. TV coverage will hurt him.<\/p>\n And when you look at the numbers in this poll, there are some concerns for Kilgore. Potts has 6% after a week of unrelenting bashing from his party. Imagine the bounce he\u2019ll get when the party runs out of expletives. Self-described moderates like Kaine 43-37% with 7% for Potts.<\/p>\n Bad news is self-described independents give Potts 15% but they favor Kilgore over Kaine 41-33% and those \u201cnot sure\u201d of their party (with the option of saying independent, what does \u201cNot sure\u201d mean — they can\u2019t remember?) like Kilgore 64-10%. Hispanics like Kilgore 52-18%. Maybe the Dems need to remind them that Kilgore liked the bill to ban illegal immigrants from admission to state colleges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kilgore 46% Kaine 36% Potts 6% UnD 12% Poll out today may not be great news for Tim Kaine, but it\u2019s too early to pay much attention to these polls.
