Another day,
another lousy poll result for Creigh Deeds.
Republican Bob McDonnell holds a comfortable lead for governor over Democrat Creigh Deeds, lifted by strong support in GOP regions of Virginia and growing appeal among independents, who in recent years have preferred Democrats, a Mason-Dixon poll shows.
McDonnell is favored by 48 percent; Deeds, 40 percent in the poll conducted Tuesday to Thursday by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. Twelve percent are undecided.
Breaking it down by region, Mason-Dixon finds that Deeds leads in NOVA and has a "statistically insignificant advantage over McDonnell in Hampton Roads." Other than that, McDonnell leads in Southside (52%-33%), Roanoke/SWVA (47%-36%) and also in the Richmond metro area. Blech.
