I would guess that Sarvis will not get anywhere near 13. That is good for KC. He might actually be winning.
Sarvis should drop out, but he won’t.
CNU poll gives McAuliffe 7-point lead over Cuccinelli: Sarvis hurting Cuccinelli
With just five days before Virginia voters head to the polls, Democrat Terry McAuliffe is leading Republican Ken Cuccinelli by 7 points in the race for governor, 45 percent to 38 percent, according to the latest survey of likely voters conducted by the Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University.
Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis is also polling at 10 percent, a substantial draw for a third-party candidate, who appears to be pulling more than two-thirds of his support from voters disaffected with their major party choices in the race, according to Quentin Kidd, director of the Wason Center.
One hopes for the “3rd Party Fade” that sometimes happens in the final days - and in the voting booths.
I’d never heard of Starvis. Odd for a Libertarian to poll that high. I don’t believe that 10% will materialize in the real vote. Doesn’t matter, Cuccinelli will have to win by at least 5 points to overcome the margin of fraud out of a handful of dem stronghold counties in Northern VA.
I’ve seen it happen so many times. The Republican can be winning with nearly all precincts reporting, and the heavy democrat precincts will report in LATE at night with just enough “votes” to put them over them top. It’s so blatant, it would be funny if it were anything else.
I would expect most Sarvis supporters to eventually break for Cuccinelli. If Sarvis is anywhere near 13%, most of those votes will end up with Cuccinelli, which means that McAuliffe is in BIG trouble...
Yet another race where the libertarian is going to get a Democrat elected....
I don’t know if the libertarian will be getting as much as 10 percent as this poll states. The biggest number, IMO, is McAwful’s 42%. He is falling like a rock and with 3 days to go, Ken can win this election.
I think that the big factor in this race now is Obamacare. From the website to all the cancelations and premuium / dedectable hikes. This is hurting dems including McAwful. Terry will do everything to defend Obamacare and cram it down Virginians throats while Ken will do everything possible to stop it. The choice is becoming that clear to Virginians.
Sarvis likes the idea of putting a government tracking device in every private vehicle.

Not only is Sarvis a fake libertarian, Any “libertarian” who supports Sarvis is a fake libertarian.
