Romney has 5 point lead in Virginia poll

We Ask America:
...
As in all of the series of states we’re polling by automated means, after qualifying each individual in regards to ability (registered) and intention to vote this fall, we asked the following straightforward questions:
If the election for president were held today, for whom would you vote?And in Virginia:  If the election for U.S. Senator were held today, for whom would you vote?
The options were randomized followed by the “undecided” choice. We then followed up with our demographic questions that include gender, age, and political party I.D. Weighting occurred if any of those demographic questions fell out of the norm. Here are our results:
Poll type:: Automated Date: 6/25/2012 - Participants: 1,106 Likely Voters - Margin of Error: ± 2.95%
FOR PRESIDENTPERCENT
Barack Obama43.3%
Mitt Romney48.0%
Undecided8.7%
FOR U.S. SENATE
George Allen44.0%
Tim Kaine35.0%
Undecided21.0%
While Mitt Romney is enjoying a close lead, George Allen may have found his bearings in Old Dominion. The recent shift toward Romney we’re seeing in Virginia and a number of other key states this year will keep us watching closely to see if it sticks.

It is interesting to see Allen taking that big a lead too.   The same polling outfit give Obama a slight lead in Colorado but he is still well under 50 percent.  We Ask America has been one of the best forecasters in teh business of late.
