VA Sen- Survey USA numbers
From Survey USA
"A News-7 SurveyUSA poll conducted yesterday found that a majority of Virginians (56%) had heard about Senator George Allen's remarks to a campaign volunteer for his opponent, Jim Webb.

Of the 309 people who were familiar with the story, two-thirds (67%) thought it was inappropriate for Sen. Allen to refer to the college student of Indian descent as "Macaca," but the respondents were more evenly divided over whether the comments were a racial slur.

Allen has apologized for the remark. Half those surveyed said he needs to say more, while 46% thought the apology was sufficient."
