Allen looks OK:RICHMOND-Rep. Sen. George Allen and his Dem. challenger, Jim Webb, are still locked in a very close race, according to a statewide poll published Sunday. Allen was favored by 49 percent of those surveyed last week and Webb was the choice of 47 percent, the Washington Post poll found. Two percent supported independent Gail Parker and 2 percent were undecided. The results are within the poll's sampling margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The poll is the third independent statewide survey in about two weeks to show the race either tied or within the margin of error. An Oct. 6 Gallup poll showed Allen at 48 percent and Webb at 45, and a Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. poll on Sept. 29 showed both at 43 percent. The race is considered pivotal because a Democratic victory in once reliably Republican Virginia could signal a shift of power from the GOP to the Democrats in the Senate in the Nov. 7 midterm election. The Post conducted telephone interviews with 1,004 randomly selected likely Virginia voters from Oct. 10-12. It was the newspaper's first poll on the Virginia Senate race.
