WDBJ7 Roanoke News and Weather NRV Lynchburg Danville | News7 Poll: Barack Obama takes the lead in Virginia
Member Center:
There's a new leader in the Presidential race in Virginia.
The latest exclusive News7 SurveyUSA poll shows Barack Obama now on top by four points. In the last poll conducted by Survey USA a week ago, John McCain led slightly.
The reason for the change: A shift by male voters, older voters and Independents toward the Democratic candidate.
Meanwhile, Virginia's Senate race seems locked in favor of Mark Warner. He continues to hold a more than 20 point margin over Jim Gilmore.
Here is a look at the results:
