Public Policy Polling is out with a new Virginia Democratic poll. Here are the results (last poll's results in parentheses).Governor
Undecided: 45% (46%)
Brian Moran: 22% (19%)
Terry McAuliffe: 18% (21%)
Creigh Deeds: 15% (14%)
According to PPP's blog, "A combination of possible voter fatigue following the 2008 election cycle and the fact that the candidates have not really started heavy spending on advertising yet has the outcome of this race still very much up in the air 10 weeks out from election day."
Lieutenant Governor
Undecided: 67% (73%)
Jody Wagner: 21% (9%)
Jon Bowerbank: 4% (3%)
Pat Edmonson: 4% (6%)
Mike Signer: 4% (5%)
According to PPP's blog, "There is a little more separation in the contest for Lieutenant Governor this month. Jody Wagner is now leading with 21% with all three of her opponents- Jon Bowerbank, Pat Edmonson, and Michael Signer- lagging at 4%." Jody Wagner surged from 9% to 21%, while the other candidates didn't really move. That seems significant to me, although with 67% undecided, maybe not so much really...

it's also significant to note that McAuliffe's unfavorable rating is at 29% while Brian's is at 15% and Creigh is 12%. i'm sure McAuliffe can move that with his ad buys, but this shows that a fairly high number of people are starting this campaign with an unfavorable view of McAuliffe.
ReplyDeleteSurprise on the Governors race...although it feels like McAuliff is winnning the buzz. On the LG race... Wagner is the frontrunner with all of the establishment support and high name id. But clearly the rank and file are looking to support someone else since 70% are undecided
ReplyDeleteMost of the rank and file haven't thought about the LtGov race at all. That 21% probably represents the bulk of the hard Democratic base that watches politics all the time.
