This weekend's Washington Post poll provided "favorable/unfavorable" ratings for key Virginia politicians. Not suprisingly, the most popular Virginia politico is Mark Warner, at +53 percentage points (73%-20%). Next is Tim Kaine, at +44 percentage points (67%-23%). In third place is John Warner at +41 percentage points (66%-25%). Then comes Jim Webb at +16 percentage points (53%-37%). Finally, last but not least is George Allen, at +10 percentage points (53%-43%).So, the combo of Mark Warner/Jim Webb is at a combined +69 percentage points. The amazing duo of John Warner/George Allen is at +51 percentage points.
That's an 18-percentage-point advantage for Mark Warner/Jim Webb over John Warner/George Allen.
Just thought I'd point that out, as Mark Warner heads out for some heavy duty campaigning with Jim Webb.
P.S. Adding in Tim Kaine just makes this a total rout, and I wouldn't want to rub it in or anything...would I?
