If the last six months are any indication of future results, Scott Rigell will be your next Congressman from Virginia’s Second Congressional District.
Yet another poll has been released today that shows Rigell with a lead. Public Opinion Strategies has Rigell over Nye 46-41%.
According to a Rigell release, the Republican has “a nine point advantage with self-described Independent voters.”
This continues a trend that began back in June.
The June 17 POS poll showed: 41-35% Rigell over Nye with Kenny Golden polling 4%
In September, as we reported here on BD, POS showed: 42-35% (45%-40% with leaners) with Kenny Golden polling at 5%
Also, a poll conducted in September by Ayers McHenry and Associates had Rigell up 45-40%.
Then, in early October, “The Hill” ran a poll that showed Rigell also up 6 points.
Rigell, with mere days left in the election, continues to sustain a 5-6 point lead over the incumbent Nye – a lead he has sustained since June.
Combine this data, where Nye consistently barely breaks 40%, with a new, powerful, positive ad now airing in the 2nd for Rigell (see above) – where family and service is very important, it’s going to be very difficult for Nye to convince 5% of the electorate or more that he’s the right man to return to Washington.
