SUSA Poll: Obama leads McCain in Virginia (Democrats, Republicans, polls)

[Upton]

Obama supporters have been saying he puts more states in play and has a different path to electoral victory. A new SUSA poll of Virginia gives a hint:

Obama-49%
McCain-42%

Men

Obama-48%
McCain-44%


Women

Obama-51%
McCain-40%


Independents:

Obama-45%
McCain-41%

Significantly Obama leads McCain among independents. Obama is also getting 17% of Republicans while McCain is getting only 10% of Democrats. Polls such as this put a hole in the continued arguments that Obama can't win.
