VA-05: SurveyUSA: Putting the Hurt on Perriello

[Capitan Zapp Brannigan]

I think it will be closer than this. A republican internal showed Hurt leading by 6 a few weeks back. SUSA has been very bullish on the Republicans in the Virginia districts and many House races, which leads me to think they are expecting huge Republican/Conservative turnout along with very little moderate and Democratic turnout.

It's very possible that it might happen that way but it seems like SUSA is showing numbers in these house races that nobody else is showing.

By the way, I'm not saying the poll is wrong, I'm just saying either SUSA is right or the other pollsters are right as they are putting up very different numbers in quite a few races.

Also, in August 2008 SurveyUSA had Goode beating Perriello 64% to 30% in this district.

I'm not saying that Perriello isn't losing, as he is one of the more vulnerable incumbents, but SUSA has had some strange polls in this district.
