(CPOD) Oct. 4, 2004 - George W. Bush could carry the state of Virginia in the 2004 United States presidential election, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports. 50 per cent of respondents would vote for the Republican incumbent, while 44 per cent would support Democratic nominee John Kerry.

Two per cent of respondents would vote for another candidate, and four per cent are undecided. The election is scheduled for Nov. 2.

Backing for Bush remained stable since August, while support for Kerry dropped by one per cent. In July, the Republican held a three per cent lead over the Democrat.

Bush won Virginia's 13 electoral votes in 2000, with 52 per cent of all cast ballots. No Democrat has carried the state since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
