They're still neck and neck in the latest poll of Virginia voters.

Jim Gilmore can't count on George Allen's coattails.

But Gilmore takes the lead by one point among those who say they're "likely"

Both outcomes are well within a four point margin of error, making the race
for governor still that "statistical dead heat" that it's been in all media

Republican Governor George Allen's done a good job, only about half of those
voters favoring Allen are backing Gilmore to succeed him.
