The DSCC blog is reporting the first poll since last Tuesday's primary is showing Webb down ten points to George Allen.
VIRGINIA: Jim Webb, coming off Tuesday+óGé¼Gäós primary win, narrowed George Allen+óGé¼Gäós lead to just 10 points, 51% - 41% in a new Rasmussen poll. Allen led Webb by 20-points, (50-30) in late April.
It's a premium poll so there are no direct links or internal numbers publicly available yet.
That's tier one status to me.
[UPDATE by Lowell: I would add that anything under 50% for an incumbent is really bad news. So, 51% is very shaky for George Allen, especially when everyone in Virginia knows him and a lot of people don't know Jim Webb. If I were the Allen campaign, I'd be very worried right now.]

This is exciting... now let's cut it down to 5% and then even.... and then we get ahead and never let go of the lead :)
On par (Corey - 6/16/2006 7:08:41 PM)
That's on par with the TN-Sen. race showing Ford down 8-9 points to his yet to be determined opponent or the NV-Sen. race showing Carter down in the teens or even >20+.
