A new poll, Mason-Dixon/Times-Dispatch, is showing that Democratic Senate challenger Jim Webb has closed the gap with Republican George Allen, no doubt due to the crumbling of Allen’s campaign in the wake of the “macaca” scandal last month.
The poll has 46% for Allen to 42% for Webb, with Webb in the margin of error. Allen has surrendered a 16% lead in this poll as compared to July. The race is now competitive and Democrats stand a good chance of picking up this seat, which would help secure a Democratic majority in the Senate. Even if Allen wins, his disastrous showing against an unknown Democratic opponent may very well doom his presidential aspirations.
Webb is underfunded and in serious need of financial contributions. You can contribute online by going here.
