Which feels worse?

You're a Redskins fan and Virginia Democrat. Which side makes you feel worse today?
At least the Redskins won't lose next weekend. I don't think they can lose to "bye."

The week in polls from 2005

On wikipedia, someone posted links to numerous polls during the 2005 gubernatorial campaign.
Where did the campaign stand in 2005, four weeks from election day?
Only one poll is linked with release date between Oct. 10 and 14 - a Rasmussen poll on Oct. 12. Jerry Kilgore held a slim 46-44 lead at the time.
An interesting nugget from that poll.
Seventy-one percent (71%) of Virginia voters Approve of the way that Warner is performing his duties as Governor. Although the state typically leans Republican in national elections, just 50% of Virginia voters Approve of the way President Bush is performing his job.
Something to compare if any polls are released this week.
