Quinnipiac poll shows Va. governor's race tightening
TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF REPORTS
Richmond Times-Dispatch
RICHMOND A new poll shows the Virginia governors race tightening, with Democrat Terry McAuliffe leading Republican Ken Cuccinelli by 4 percentage points, 45 percent to 41 percent, and a third-party candidate drawing 9 percent.
This Quinnipiac University poll released this morning shows the contest just outside of the margin of error, and it comes two days after a Washington Post poll showed McAuliffe ahead by 12 percentage points.
....
The last Quinnipiac poll, taken a week ago, had McAuliffe leading 46 percent to 39 percent and Libertarian Robert C. Sarvis at 10 percent.
"State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is nipping at Terry McAuliffe's heels as the race to be Virginia's next governor enters the final week of the campaign," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "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."
