Opposition to the tea party movement has reached a new high in Virginia, a new Washington Post/Abt SRBI poll shows, kicking a key leg of support out from under Ken Cuccinelli II as he tries to win the governor’s race on a strongly conservative platform.
Cuccinelli (R), the state attorney general, now trails businessman Terry McAuliffe (D) by 12 points among likely voters, the survey shows. And Cuccinelli’s decline comes as Virginians are increasingly turned off by the movement that has backed him strongly and with which he shares many views.

Don’t play with the gravy train!
I stopped reading at “Washington Post/Abt SRBI poll”.
That’s redundant. Barf is required whenever north Virginia is mentioned.
Not buying it. That may be the case in Northern VA but not the rest of the state. And Northern VA is not VA...it’s only a part of VA and it’s a part that most of us in other parts of the Commenwealth fervently wish we could say goodbye to. It would make a nice addition to MD.
Mccauliffe is pulling out all the stops.
Prayers for this race
Commenwealth should be ‘Commonweath’!
The timing of is poll is quite suspicious as it is right before the VA Governor’s election and just a week after one poll showed the race to be a statistical dead heat.
Most curious is that the article is from the very liberal Washington Post.
We can only take this to mean that the Virginia poll on the tea party is fake.
Check the source.
Northern Virginia had a pretty good army ... back in the day.
Already left the GOP party here i no longer give a damn what Grover Norquist or any other quisling in that party says or does
I AM a conservative.

I feel bad for ROVA (rest of Virginia), NOVA has taken over.
Funny you saw that as well. There are several “typos” in this article (including a poorly written headline!) I get email notifications that the WAPO calls “Afternoon Buzz” so I can keep tabs on their election coverage. It’s essentially their blog articles. Quality online news at its finest. Making Jeff Bezos proud!
Erick Erickson stated a few weeks ago that Ken Cuccinelli is losing this race the same reason Romney lost last year. They both allowed their opponents to define them without any opposition. McAulliffe and his lieutenants continue to attack a group (The Tea Party) that has no leader and does not defend itself because it is not a group but a movement.
The WaPo thinks there is global warming, too.
But, they are only journalists.
Helloooooooo!
:) the media is going all out to discourage conservatives. especially since hitlery is involved.
I gave money to re-elect Ken, but hey, if the people of Virginia want to bow their knee to a tyranny of liberalism, it is their choice.
OR, we can hope, like CHARLIE DON’T SURF, TEA DON’T POLL.
They can’t manufacture the RAT votes they need if they don’t know how many they need.
Remember that county clerk in WI? that didn’t turn in voting results to the AP, creating chaos for the RATS?
It’s their decision. If they want to be like the People’s republic of Maryland. Overtaxed and Millionaires leaving in droves Filling up with illegals and same sex marriage,they can vote for that.
Shame on them when they start crying about higher taxes.
