Massive Gender Gap Give McAuliffe a Big Lead

A new Washington Post-Abt SRBI poll in Virginia finds Terry McAuliffe (D) leads Ken Cuccinelli (R) by 12 points, 51% to 39% among likely voters in next Tuesday’s election. Libertarian Robert Sarvis is at 8%.

Key findings: “The margin between the two candidates is driven by a huge gender gap. Among men, the two candidates are running even, with Cuccinelli at 45 percent and McAuliffe at 44 percent. But among women, Cuccinelli trails by 24 points — 58 percent to 34 percent.”
