With elections just a month away, a pre-election poll conducted by the Rappahannock News on Monday evening shows Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate Richard Davis with a slight edge in the county over his Republican opponent Paul Trible.
The random telephone survey of registered voters in Rappahannock found 44 percent of those polled supporting Davis, 42 percent for Trible and 14 percent still undecided.
For the Piedmont Virginia area, however, the positions of the two candidates vying for the Senate seat now held by Harry Byrd, Jr., were reversed. According to the totals of surveys by Arundel Newspapers—including the Rappahannock News, Reston Times, Fauquier Democrat, Loudoun Times Mirror and Clarke Courier—Trible has the advantage, 36 percent of 31 percent, over Davis. Areawide, a substantial 33 percent of registered voters are undecided.
The News poll gave Trible a slight edge in the Washington and Amissville areas and put Davis in front in the Chester Gap-Huntly area (which also has the highest percentage of undecideds) and SperryvilleWoodville.
In the race for the Seventh Congressional District slot in the U.S. House of Representatives, Democratic challenger Lindsay Dorrier is right on the heels of Republican incumbent J. Kenneth Robinson. Robinson picked up support from 42 percent of Rappahannock’s registered voters contacted in Monday night’s poll compared to 38 percent for Dorrier. Citizens Party candidate David Toscano had ten percent and ten percent remained undecided.
Again the Huntly-Chester Gap area had the largest number of undecideds.
