McAuliffe maintains lead over Cuccinelli in new poll

[William769]

A new poll shows former Democratic National Committee Chair Terry McAuliffe’s lead over Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in the commonwealth’s gubernatorial race has grown slightly.

47 percent of likely voters who took part in the Washington Post-Abt SRBI poll back McAuliffe, compared to 39 percent who support Cuccinelli. 10 percent of respondents said they support Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Robert Sarvis.

The Washington Post-Abt SRBI poll comes less than a week after a Quinnipiac University survey found McAuliffe ahead of Cuccinelli by a 44-41 percent margin. The two men will square off against each other during a Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce-sponsored debate in McLean on Wednesday that MSNBC’s Chuck Todd will moderate.

“This contest has been and remains a close race featuring a significant percentage of undecided voters,” Cuccinelli campaign spokesperson Richard T. Cullen said in a statement late on Monday. “It’s important to note that Ken Cuccinelli has a significant enthusiasm advantage and Terry McAuliffe has a history of losing support towards the end as voters learn more about him.”
