News-7 Poll: Goode leads Weed in 5th District

Republican Congressman Virgil Goode holds a 24-point lead over his Democratic opponent, Al Weed, in the first SurveyUSA poll of the campaign.

Pollsters interviewed 1,000 adults in Virginia’s 5th District. Of them, 838 were registered voters, and 417 of them were judged to be “likely voters.”

Of the likely voters, 59 percent said they’d vote for Goode if the election were held today; 35 percent said they’d vote for Weed.

Goode got 93 percent of those identifying themselves as Republicans, while Weed got 82 percent of the Democrats. Independents back Goode by a five-to-four margin.
