Fox News poll: Romney up by two points in Virginia
By Dana BlantonPublished October 25, 2012 FoxNews.com
The race for the White House has tightened in Virginia, where Mitt Romney is now preferred over Barack Obama by two percentage points -- 47-45 percent. That’s according to a Fox News poll of Virginia likely voters released Thursday. Romney’s edge is within the poll’s margin of sampling error.
The poll shows a nine-point shift in the margin and a four-point increase in support for Romney. A month ago, Obama topped Romney by seven points in this battleground state (50-43 percent).
The president has also lost ground in the state on his job performance and favorable rating.
In 2008, Obama won 52 percent of the vote in Virginia and was the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the state since 1964.
The biggest shift since September is among independents. They now prefer Romney by 53-31 percent. Last month they were split 43-43 percent.
