Another poll has Deeds-McDonnell race tightening

Chris Graham

Another poll has the Virginia governor’s race in the too-close-to-call range.

An InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion Research poll conducted for Politico.com and released on Thursday had Republican Bob McDonnell ahead of Democrat Creigh Deeds by a 48 percent-to-44 percent margin.

McDonnell’s lead, in the 10- to 15-point range in the polls in August, is now in the two- to four-point range.

Nothing terribly significant or new otherwise from the Politico poll, other than that it has Deeds ahead among women by a 48 percent-to-45 percent gap.
