"President Obama leads Mitt Romney by 8 points in a Washington Post poll of Virginia.
Obama’s 2008 Virginia win marked the first time in decades the state had voted for a Democrat for president. Obama leads 52 percent to 44 percent among a sample of likely voters, essentially unchanged from the Post’s last survey of the state, taken in late April and early May.
“Obama’s steady lead suggests that an unprecedented barrage of TV ads and dozens of in-person visits have yet to change the bottom line in the key battleground state,” the Post wrote.
Winning Virginia would give Obama numerous paths to 270 electoral votes, while Romney’s chances are severely hampered by a shrinking number of competitive states. The PollTracker Average of the presidential race in Virginia shows Obama ahead 3.1 percent.
