| Terry MacAuliffe |
From Huffington Post:
Democrat Terry McAuliffe has a 6-point lead over Republican state
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, according to a Quinnipiac University
poll released Wednesday, with McAuliffe taking 48 percent to Cuccinelli's 42 percent among Virginians likely to vote in this year's election.
Neither candidate is especially popular, and both have faced a spate of unflattering headlines: Cuccinelli received thousands of dollars in gifts from a controversial political donor, while an electric car company McAuliffe helped to found is under investigation by the SEC.
Voters were torn on McAuliffe, with 34 percent viewing him favorably,
33 percent unfavorably, and 31 percent saying they hadn't heard enough.
Cuccinelli had more detractors, with 35 percent rating him favorably,
41 percent unfavorably, and 22 percent undecided.
Few believe the race has focused on the issues: only 32 percent said
Cuccinelli spends more time outlining his ideas than attacking
McAuliffe, and just a quarter thought McAuliffe spent more of his time
explaining his platform.
