McAuliffe Leads by Nine Points

A new Wason Center poll in Virginia finds Terry McAuliffe (D) leading Ken Cuccinelli (R) by nine points among likely voters in the race for governor, 47% to 38%, with Robert Sarvis at 8%.

Said pollster Quentin Kidd: “In the closing weeks of the election, I would expect the Cuccinelli campaign to try to
convince those moderate Republicans and women to take a second look. For McAuliffe, the closing weeks are likely to be about solidifying his position and making sure his supporters turn out on Election Day, especially African-American voters.”
