The new PPP poll came out today and it was even better for Bob McDonnell et al. than I predicted just last night.
Instead of the 8 to 10 point lead for McDonnell that I anticipated, the poll has him up by 14, right in the ballpark of the 15 that last week’s Survey USA poll had him leading by. (Let’s see Creigh “What’s In Your Wallet?” Deeds and his minions spin their way out of this one since they can no longer argue that Survey USA was an anomaly.) And for what it is worth, the two most accurate polls in Virginia in 2008 according to the Wall St. Journal were — #1 Survey USA and #2 PPP.
From the PPP rundown of the poll:
As Barack Obama’s approval has moved downward in the last month, so have the fortunes of Democratic candidates on the ballot in 2009.
So I guess it was perfect timing today for Deeds to announce that The Teleprompted One would be campaigning for him on Thursday. OUCH!!!
Head on over to the PPP blog for full details on the poll’s internals including favorability ratings and other demographic info.
