GOP Sees Three Virginia Challengers Leading, One Trailing By Just a Bit

There’s a new batch of polls in Virginia’s four most interesting House races.

“On Monday, September 27, ccAdvertising completed surveys to voters in four key Congressional districts in Virginia. These surveys focused on the competitive Congressional races as well as current national issues. The surveys were conducted to both landline phones and mobile phones.”

In the 2nd Congressional District, Republican Scott Rigell has a commanding lead over Democrat Glenn Nye in the race for Congress of over 14 percent. When asked whom voters will choose on Election Day, 48.6 percent are supporting Rigell, while 34.5 percent are supporting Nye and 16.9 percent are undecided.

In the 5th District, Republican Robert Hurt would defeat incumbent Democrat Tom Perriello by approximately 16 percent. A 51.1 percent majority of respondents support Hurt while 34.7 percent support Democrat Tom Perriello and 14.1 percent are undecided.

In Virginia’s 9th District, 42.6 percent of survey respondents support the incumbent Democrat Rick Boucher while 39.7 percent support challenger Morgan Griffith and 17.6 percent of voters are undecided.

In Virginia’s 11th District, Republican Keith Fimian has a five and one half percent lead over Democrat Gerry Connolly. When asked whom voters support, 42.2 percent favor Fimian, 36.7 percent support Connolly and 21.1 percent are undecided.

If Democrats had our unemployed in their best interest, OUR unemployed would have the jobs that 7+ million illegals are "still allowed" to work!!! They even signed the big amnesty bill that will dump 12-20 Million illegals onto us now where Obama admitted that they go to the ER and we pay for it", and another 20+ million after that because citizens can petition for most of the other adults in each family!!

It would cost the government less than one million to get our unemployed back to work, starting with assuring that unemployment goes to legal workers and checking employment records to assure that they have a worker verification for each worker which takes only a few seconds to get a response for each one!! Yet they still make excuses not to strongly go after illegals and employers, something Obama admitted they should be doing but flat out refuse!! The enforcement announcement followed by a real crackdown is enough for most illegals to leave and go to places they can find work!
