 RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Democrat Jim Webb has a slight lead over Republican Sen. George Allen with a week to go in a key race that could determine control of the Senate, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The poll by Opinion Research Corp. was the first to show Webb with an advantage in what has become a bruising and expensive contest in once reliably Republican Virginia.
Among likely voters surveyed, 50 percent favored Webb, a former Republican who served as Navy Secretary in the Reagan administration, while 46 percent favored Allen, and 4 percent were undecided.
