A new statewide poll on the likely U.S. Senate candidates is a complete reversal of another one from just last week, and the poll director says it is a clear reflection of the social issue debates this winter in Richmond. The latest poll comes from Marist College, and it shows Democrat Tim Kaine holding a nine-point edge over Republican George Allen, 48 to 39%. 14% of those polled say they are undecided. WFIR’s Evan Jones has the story.
