Is Ken Cuccinelli closing in on Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia governor's race? The latest poll from Emerson College shows McAuliffe, the Democrat, with 42 percent support and Cuccinelli, the Republican, with 40 percent. Libertarian Robert Sarvis has 13 percent in the poll of 874 likely voters.

The two-point lead for McAuliffe is the smallest he's had in any poll since September.

Funny how these “Libertarians” show up when a conservative is running but not when a RINO is the candidate.

You’ve noticed that also. Funny that...

Polls are one thing, voting anothers. I doubt on election day Sarvis gets anywhere near 19%.

I’m sure Soros has his nasty little fingers in all elections. But yeah, I bet your right.

Sarvis will be lucky to get 5%. If after the polls close it looks like he is getting anything close to 10% it could result in McAuliffe as Governor. However we might see a case where it wont matter. Wouldn’t be wonderful to see him take 10% and Cuccinelli still win. That would be a major upset of epic proportions.

All we need now is for Obama (the face of Obamacare) to campaign for McFly to close the deal... for Cucinelli. Obama is the kiss of death.

I don’t mind them taking some of the Democrat young voters and he does appear to be getting some of them. I just don’t want him taking Republicans. Young idealists are the most likely to stick with him and those are also most likely to lean Democrat. That is what I’m hoping will be the case.
All three candidates have high negatives though McAuliffe’s are increasing faster towards election day.

Sarvis seems overrepresented there, but to be within 2 with a 3rd party to the right definitely shows who has the momentum and it ain’t Terry.

Yep, runoffs do ensure that the voters can have the candidate chosen by more than 50%.

But, thinking about this Virginia race, it’s a general election and I’m not sure if my state (Alabama), or any state would hold a runoff after a general election where no candidate received 50%+. I don’t think that’s ever happened here since minor party candidates typically receive very few votes.

“Sarvis is a true libertarian, he is strong on being pro-abortion, pro-drugs, pro-gay, etc. he is just weak on some of the economic parts of the libertarian agenda.”

And that’s a liberal, right?

In very simplified terms, a Libertarian is generally “left” on social issues and “right” on economic.

This guy’s “left” on both.

It’s looking like The Clinton Curse, where they fly in to help and the poll numbers tank. is taking affect.

Exactly and the variation in the polling shows that turnout is key.

He won’t. If he was an actual libertarian like Ron Paul, he might, but he’s not. He’s just a libtard. Look at his positions. His job is to ensure a Terry win.

Don’t appeal to him, appeal to his supporters. Sarvis’ supporters need to realize that their choice is between someone Paul has endorsed, and a radical left wing nutjob.

What’s more interesting. It appears Sarvis’ vote bloc remains unchanged, so the addition to Cuccinelli’s numbers have come from McAuliffe’s end.

Obamacare shock?
