With less than a week until Election Day, Virginia gubernatorial hopeful Terry McAuliffe holds a slim lead over Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in a tightening race, according to a new poll on Wednesday.
McAuliffe leads Cuccinelli among likely voters 45 percent to 41 percent, with 9 percent for Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. The edge is within the polls margin of error.

(9,600 posts)The greatest threat to a sweeping Democratic victory in Virginia, is complacency.
Hopefully this Quinnipiac poll, which is an outlier, will serve to warn Democratic voters against taking victory for granted. This, by the way, is precisely what Bill Clinton has been underscoring.
All sensible voters need to cast their ballot!

We take NOTHING for granted. I do not trust VA voters. Yeah, they did alright in 2008 and 2012. But they fucked up royally in 2010.
It's the midterms, stupid! And when it comes to midterm elections, I trust no one! And certainly NO POLL!!!

The media loves to play this bullshit game.
