Zogby found that among likely voters statewide, McAuliffe, former chairman of the Democratic National chairman, leads Cuccinelli by a margin of 43 percent to 36 percent.

The poll also showed Sarvis holding firm with 9 percent, other candidates with 3 percent, and 9 percent still undecided.

Interesting side note:

In the latest survey, Zogby told Newsmax, "Sarvis receives 10 percent from Republican voters and 13 percent among self-described conservatives."

Zogby pointed out that among voters who consider themselves "independent" or unaffiliated with a political party, Sarvis scores a strong 19 percent of the vote.

19% of the Independents is huge, IMHO.

And I'm guessing Ron and Rand Paul going there to bat for him is to show how Cuccinelli can appeal to those independents. That and, let's be honest, there aren't a lot of nationally well known Republican surrogates that don't have some huge baggage they carry.

It will all come down to turnout. I suspect many of the 'conservatives' stating Sarvis as their preference won't bother to show up and vote. If Ciccinelli can get 6% out of the 9% undecided I think he can win.

Seems to me that McAuliffe will inspire a big turnout, to vote against him. Not that the other guys are much better.

Cuccinelli should hire some Somali Pirates to kidnap Marco Rubio, before anyone notices that he's supporting him.

This along with PPP's recent tweet that their polling isn't showing an upset in Virginia doesn't look good at all.

Zogby, Rasmussen, and PPP all lean Dem. That's not to say Ken's winning by any stretch, but take those poll results with a grain of salt. My personal "modified" RCP average puts Ken about four points down with 3 points MOE. Certainly not great, but with the right circumstances, we're still within reach.

Unfortunately, he's down by 6-7 points in the most recent polls, and the polls are never off by that much. It has been reported that Cuccinelli has been outspent 10:1 in recent days, and you simply can't win an election when you're outspent by that much. There should've been a much earlier effort to raise money for Cuccinelli's campaign.

Defeat to the extremists. Get those damned obstructionist extremists like Rand, lee, Cruz, Amish the fuck out of congress. That is what is winning. The compromiser in chief/ neocon in NJ is cruising to a huge win.
