Rasmussen poll gives McAuliffe a 17-point lead over Cuccinelli
The Washington Times ^ | 10/22/2013 | Matthew Cella

A poll released Tuesday suggests Democrat Terry McAuliffe has pulled away in the campaign for Virginia governor, opening a 17-point lead against Republican Attorney General Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II two weeks from Election Day.

The poll, conducted by Rasmussen Reports, has Mr. McAuliffe ahead 50-33 — by far the largest margin of any poll thus far in the race.

The survey of 1,000 likely voters has a 3 percentage point margin of error. It was conducted Sunday, a day after former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton campaigned with Mr. McAuliffe in Falls Church.

The results come after Rasmussen last month had Mr. McAuliffe with a 6 percentage point lead, 44 percent to 38 percent, over Mr. Cuccinelli. That poll was conducted before the two-week federal government shutdown, which other surveys have suggested had a disproportionately negative effect on Republicans.

What is wrong with VA that they would elect an absolute crook like McAuliffe?

Call it. Corey Booker didn’t even have those kinds of numbers.

I hope Virginians enjoy getting ransacked by Fast Terry’s crew. He’ll strip it down like a chop shop in East Brooklyn.

Cuccinelli is losing because he’s playing RINO - he didn’t want to be photographed with Ted Cruz because it would scare the mushy moderates.

Americans know, a proven crooked Democrat is better than any Republican.

Hang onto your hats folks, 2014 is going to be bumpy.

What makes us think these numbers are fact-based? So much voter fraud, so little defense.

Cuccinelli was a fool to attack Cruz 3 weeks ago. The margin has exploded open since then.

Two words: northern Virginia. Same problem that occurs in states like Michigan, Illinois, and California. NOVA has been growing like a cancer, with nary an intelligent voter to be found. It's a shame, since otherwise VA would be a reliably Republican state.

One day at a time.

Cuccinelli only needs to pick up 1.2 points each day between here and the election and he will win the race.

It can be done.

We won't. No state is immune from the problem of huge population centers filled to the brim with the ignorant and the dependent.

If the tables were turned, this is the time some damaging personal information would be leaked about the front-runner. Not that I’m suggesting anything...
