In VA, Republicans Still Above 50% in All 3 Statewide November Contests: Virginia Republicans continue to dominate the statewide contests for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General in elections today, 09/29/09, five weeks until votes are counted, according to SurveyUSA polling for WDBJ-TV Roanoke and WJLA-TV Washington DC.
In the race for Governor, Republican Bob McDonnell today defeats Democrat Creigh Deeds by 14 points, 55% to 41%. Compared to identical SurveyUSA polls released four and nine weeks ago, little has changed. McDonnell receives majorities from both men and women, young and old, rich and poor, college graduates and those who did not attend college. Deeds leads by 3:1 among African Americans, by 7:1 among Democrats and liberals, and by 14 points among moderates. McDonnell and Deeds tie in Northeastern Virginia; McDonnell leads in the rest of the state.
For Lieutenant Governor, Incumbent Republican Bill Bolling is today elected to a second term, defeating Democrat Jody Wagner, former Treasurer of VA and VA Secretary of Finance, 54% to 41%. Bolling led nine weeks ago by 12, led four weeks ago by 10, leads today by 13. The Republican has momentum in Central VA. The Democrat is making inroads, though still trailing, in Southeast VA.
In the Attorney General contest, Republican state senator Ken Cuccinelli today defeats Democrat state representative Steve Shannon 53% to 42%. The Republican has never polled less than 53%. The Democrat has never polled more than 42%.
Filtering: 1,000 Virginia adults were interviewed by SurveyUSA 09/26/09 through 09/29/09. Of them, 886 were registered to vote. Of them, 631 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in the November general election. Incumbent Democratic Governor Tim Kaine is term limited; his seat is open. Incumbent Republican Attorney General Bill Mims was appointed to the seat by the Virginia General Assembly in February 2009, when Bob McDonnell resigned to campaign full-time for Governor, and is not seeking election to the office.

Wait, I just read a thread that says it is 48 to 43 for McDonnell

Public Policy Polling has McDonnell leading 48-43.
Last week, Insider Advantage had McDonnell leading 48-44.
Could Survey USA be an outlier?
Good news though, all polls have the Bolling and Cuccinelli leading their respective races as well.
This SUSA poll is likely voters, the other one may merely be all adults.
We need to be making sure all the absentee voters we know are getting their ballots in.
I just read that a new Quinnipiac poll will be coming out tmw in the Jersey governors race. That one’s been tight lately.
I hope the Republican is using all those corrupt Democrats in his ads.
Virginia pingage.
See the YouTube link in #10. McDonnell even gets the golden retriever vote!
I was just reading today the National Review article on this race. I gather the dems are going to go hard on this Regents University angle. I don’t think that works this year. Also, the republican in this race has the endorsement of the co-founder of BET Television.
Do you have a link to that story? I scanned the site yet didn’t see it. I did see an ad for the dem, though.
Thank you so much for this information! Please . . . keep me advised.
I am “chomping at the bit” to vote in November!!
Are you on Facebook? They update daily if you’d like to join thier ‘fan pages’
Good- those stupid Deeds commercials painting McDonnell as a woman-hating caveman must not be persauding reasonable folks
The McDonnell in response to the ‘anti-woman’ campaign of the dems

Facebook is above my paygrade (and IT expertise). ;^D
Survey USA’s and Mason Dixon’s State polling is the best in the business, they were both right on the money in VA, NC, FL, and OH in 2008. Go Bob Go!!!
