A new poll commissioned by The Virginian-Pilot concludes the state remains up for grabs. The survey of 625 likely voters found 47 percent supported Obama Links of London Letter J Charm (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-letter-j-charm-p-307.html), 44 percent preferred McCain and a crucial 9 percent were undecided. Because the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points Sweetie Bracelet (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-sweetie-bracelet-p-141.html), the race is technically a dead heat.
The telephone survey was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. on Wednesday and Thursday.
J. Bradford Coker Links of London Classic Smiley and Rown Charm Bracelet (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-classic-smiley-and-rown-charm-bracelet-p-87.html), who oversaw the survey Links of London Classic Smiley Charm Bracelet (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-classic-smiley-charm-bracelet-p-140.html), said the ultimate outcome in Virginia and elsewhere might hinge on whether undecided white voters are willing to vote for Obama Rickshaw Charm (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-rickshaw-charm-p-354.html), who would be the nation;s first African American president.
The Mason-Dixon poll shows that 11 percent of whites are undecided - far more than usual in the closing week of a statewide election, Coker said. The last time the figure was nearly as high was 1989 in Virginia Links of London Necklaces Wholesale (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-necklaces-c-13.html), when Democrat Doug Wilder was elected the nation;s first black governor.
Like Obama, Wilder had a small but clear lead in late polls. But on election night Links Baby Cross Charm (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-baby-cross-charm-p-239.html), in a phenomenon that came to be known in Virginia as the Wilder effect Cowboy Boots Charm (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-cowboy-boots-charm-p-261.html), an unexpectedly large Republican vote in predominately white precincts brought GOP nominee Marshall Coleman within a whisker - four-tenths of 1 percentage point - of victory.
Coker said almost all of the undecided white voters broke for Coleman on Election Day; a similar break this year could deliver Virginia;s 13 electoral votes to McCain.
The same phenomenon occurred in North Carolina;s 1990 U.S. Senate race. Democrat Harvey Gantt Slipper Charm (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-slipper-charm-p-151.html), an African American, led by 4 percentage points in the final poll only to lose by 6 points on Election Day to Republican Jesse Helms.
The million-dollar question is whether there will be a Wilder/Gantt effect in the 2008 presidential race Zanzibar Hoop Earrings (http://www.linksoflondonoutlets.org/links-of-london-zanzibar-hoop-earrings-p-386.html), Coker said. No matter what anyone theorizes, the answer today is that no one knows for sure.
