The results of the latest round of Mason-Dixon polling aren't pretty for the two Arkansans in the presidential running.
Former Arkansas first lady Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and former Republican Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee are both trailing their opponents in Virginia, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., by wide margins.
Obama holds a 53 percent to 37 percent lead over Clinton, while McCain holds a 55 percent to 27 percent lead over Huckabee, according to a poll by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research done for The Northern Virginia Daily and other papers.
One of the more interesting findings of the poll was the contrarian nature of the Shenandoah Valley and Southwest Virginia. Huckabee fights to a draw and Clinton wins in the western third of the state. But McCain and Obama are winning in the most important areas — Northern Virginia, metro Richmond and Hampton Roads — the areas that have the most people.
What does it all mean? Ask again Wednesday.
