Monday, October 02, 2006 Allen 49, Webb 43 Rasmussen is up with their latest poll, taken over eight days (probably to incorporate the fallout from last week). These results are pretty darned consistent. Allen by six. At this point, people have already made up their minds on the negatives on Allen and Webb -- which is probably the point. Now that the polls are settling down, we can start getting into contrasting issues. Unfortunately for Webb, the one person who has the most $$$ to drive home issues at this point is Senator George Allen. Webb needed to capitalize while Allen's negatives were being played up in the press, and his campaign failed him miserably. Five weeks left, and Allen holds all the cards. posted by Shaun Kenney \| 10/02/2006 12:08:00 PM \| 6 comments 6 Comments: At 12:32 PM, Jason Kenney said... Rasmussen was over four days, 9/28-10/1. The average is of the three polls taken over the last eight days. At 12:34 PM, Jason Kenney said... What's telling about the poll is this: Senator Allen is viewed at least somewhat favorably by 54%, little changed from last month’s figure of 55%. However, the intensity of opinion about the incumbent has ratcheted up a notch. Thirty-two percent (32%) now have a “very favorable” opinion of Allen, up from 28%. The number with a “very unfavorable” opinion has jumped ten points to 30%. Feelings about Webb don't run as high. With a 48% favorably rating, only 16% regard him "very favorably." He is viewed "very unfavorably" by only 19%. At 12:59 PM, Shaun Kenney said... Jason is right. I can't read. I shall leave my ignorance up for all to see and comment pithily on. At 2:33 PM, Jason Kenney said... I could have been a good brother and stealthly corrected your post but a good public call out once in a while is healthy for the ego. At 3:58 PM, Shaun Kenney said... Seeing as you have admin rights here... yes, you could have done that (you ass). :) At 11:49 PM, Charles said... What is telling is that in February, Allen was up 49-37 over a "player to be named later". Here we are 10 months later, a month away from the election, and Webb is only doing 6 points better than the "player to be named later". And he might actually be LESS KNOWN than the "player to be named later". Post a Comment Home
