Virginia Senate: Allen With Big Lead
Virginia Senator George Allen (R) leads Northern Virginia businessman Harris Miller (D) by 30 percentage points in his bid for re-election.
Miller just recently filed to enter the race and has not had the opportunity for much campaigning at this point. He is the only Democrat so far to step forward and challenge Allen. While November is a long way away, this data suggests that Miller has a very steep hill to climb.
Allen is viewed favorably by 70% of Virginia voters and unfavorably by 25%.
For Miller, those numbers are 38% favorable, 31% unfavorable, and 31% not sure.
