Poll finds governor's race tight in Virginia

RICHMOND, VA. - A new statewide poll published Sunday shows the Democratic and Republican candidates running about even in the Virginia governor's race.

Republican Jerry Kilgore, a former attorney general, was the choice of 41 percent, compared with 40 percent who favored Democratic Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine.

Because the results are within the margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points, the difference is statistically insignificant. About 6 percent supported independent Russ Potts, a Republican state senator at odds with the GOP.
