George Allen and Tim Kaine remain neck and neck in Virginia’s competitive U.S. Senate race, according to the latest poll from Quinnipiac University.
Thursday’s poll shows Allen earning the support of 46 percent of Virginia voters, while Kaine trails with 44 percent. The two candidates are vying to fill the seat being vacated by first-term Sen. Jim Webb (D), who announced last year that he would not seek re-election. Webb was elected in 2006, after notching an upset over Allen. Kaine, a former governor of Virginia, most recently served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
The PollTracker Average currently shows Allen and Kaine virtually tied.
