According to an independent Wall Street Journal/Zogby poll, Jim Webb is leading over Republican Senator George Allen.
The poll puts Webb at 47.9 percent and Allen at 46.6 percent.
The new poll shows a 12 point swing since mid-July, when Zogby had Senator Allen leading over Webb by 11 points.
The Wall Street Journal reports that John Zogby attributes the swing to comments that Allen made on August 11.
During a campaign rally, Allen called a rival campaign worker of Indian descent "macaca," which is a word that refers to a genus of monkeys, but can also be considered an insult.
Video of the event was posted online, and Allen was criticized for his behavior.
Allen said he had made up the word and later apologized.
The poll was conducted from August 15 - 21 and has a margin of error of 3.2 percent.
