WV 02: Capito Safe
She never has an easy race, but Republican Rep. Shelly Moore Capito looks like she's cruising this year. A DailyKos/Research 2000 poll conducted 10/6-8 surveyed 400 likely voters for a margin of error of +/- 4.9% and tested Capito and Democrat Ann Barth.
General Election Matchup
(All / Dem / GOP / Ind / Men / Wom)
Capito....53 / 18 / 84 / 57 / 56 / 50
Barth.....39 / 78 / 5 / 34 / 37 / 41
McCain....48 / 14 / 83 / 47 / 52 / 44
Obama.....41 / 76 / 5 / 42 / 39 / 43
Even with Senator Robert Byrd's endorsement and appearance in a recent Barth ad (Barth used to serve as Byrd's state director), the Democrat has a long way to go to catch up, and she may not have enough time.
