McAuliffe’s Lead Narrows in Virginia

A new Quinnipiac poll in Virginia shows Terry McAuliffe (D) with just a four point lead over Ken Cuccinelli (R), 45% to 41%, with Libertarian Robert Sarvis at 9%.

Said pollster Peter Brown: “Cuccinelli is nipping at McAuliffe’s heels as the race to be Virginia’s next governor enters the final week of the campaign. It goes without saying that turnout is the key to this race and the harshly negative tone of the campaign is the kind that often turns off voters.”

Meanwhile, a new Newsmax/Zogby poll finds McAuliffe ahead 36% to 30%, with Sarvis at 9%.
