Both candidates take 46% of the vote with George Allen up two points from PPP’s last poll on the race in July. Kaine continues to lead among women 50-39, while Allen gains more support from men, now 53-40. Tim Kaine now takes 86-6 of the Democratic support, up two points from July, while George Allen now has 88-4 of Republicans, up one point from the previous poll.
