Virginia Survey of 500 Likely Voters

Conducted September 28, 2011

By Rasmussen Reports

 

 

1* In the 2012 Election for the U.S. Senate suppose you had a choice between Republican George Allen and Democrat Tim Kaine.  If the election were held today would you vote for Republican George Allen or Democrat Tim Kaine?

 

            45% Allen
            46% Kaine
              3% Some other candidate

              7% Not sure

 

*Please note that we split the survey to rotate the order of the candidates, so while half will hear the Republican first, the other half hears the Democrat mentioned first.

 

 

4* I’m going to read you a short list of people in the News. For each, please let me know if you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable, or very unfavorable impression.
