New Zogby poll puts Whitehouse up 14 points

Just five days before Election Day, Democratic challenger Sheldon Whitehouse leads the incumbent U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee by 14 points, according to a poll released today by the national independent pollster Zogby International.

While Whitehouse has led consistently in recent polls, his lead over the Republican Chafee has never been larger than 10 points.

Whitehouse leads 53 percent to 39 percent with a margin of error of 4 percentage points, according to Zogby. The survey of 601 likely voters was taken Oct. 24 to Oct 30.

A new local poll is expected to be released tonight.
