Virginia Gov 2009: SUSA Poll GOP McDonnell leads by 14 points among likely voters! All 3 GOP 53%+
SUSA ^ | 9/29/09

Posted on 09/29/2009 4:19:26 PM PDT by HokieMom

In VA, Republicans Still Above 50% in All 3 Statewide November Contests: Virginia Republicans continue to dominate the statewide contests for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General in elections today, 09/29/09, five weeks until votes are counted, according to SurveyUSA polling for WDBJ-TV Roanoke and WJLA-TV Washington DC.

In the race for Governor, Republican Bob McDonnell today defeats Democrat Creigh Deeds by 14 points, 55% to 41%. Compared to identical SurveyUSA polls released four and nine weeks ago, little has changed. McDonnell receives majorities from both men and women, young and old, rich and poor, college graduates and those who did not attend college. Deeds leads by 3:1 among African Americans, by 7:1 among Democrats and liberals, and by 14 points among moderates. McDonnell and Deeds tie in Northeastern Virginia; McDonnell leads in the rest of the state.

For Lieutenant Governor, Incumbent Republican Bill Bolling is today elected to a second term, defeating Democrat Jody Wagner, former Treasurer of VA and VA Secretary of Finance, 54% to 41%. Bolling led nine weeks ago by 12, led four weeks ago by 10, leads today by 13. The Republican has momentum in Central VA. The Democrat is making inroads, though still trailing, in Southeast VA.

In the Attorney General contest, Republican state senator Ken Cuccinelli today defeats Democrat state representative Steve Shannon 53% to 42%. The Republican has never polled less than 53%. The Democrat has never polled more than 42%.

Filtering: 1,000 Virginia adults were interviewed by SurveyUSA 09/26/09 through 09/29/09. Of them, 886 were registered to vote. Of them, 631 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in the November general election. Incumbent Democratic Governor Tim Kaine is term limited; his seat is open. Incumbent Republican Attorney General Bill Mims was appointed to the seat by the Virginia General Assembly in February 2009, when Bob McDonnell resigned to campaign full-time for Governor, and is not seeking election to the office.

****Do you have a link to that story? I scanned the site yet didn’t see it. I did see an ad for the dem, though.****

It may not be on the NR website anymore since a new issue of NR has come out. This was from the September 21, 2009 issue which is probably only available to subscribers.

So All Deeds Needs to Do Is Outpace Obama’s Get-Out-the-Vote Effort

Good news, sort of, for Creigh Deeds. As long as the voter turnout on Election Day is 37 percent Democrat, 29 percent Republican and 34 percent independent, as in PublicPolicyPolling’s latest, he’ll only lose by 5 percentage points.

PPP shows McDonnell leading among Independents by a mere 16 percentage point margin.

For comparison, on Election Day 2008, the presidential year with enthusiasm for Obama driving Democratic turnout, the party ID split was 39 percent Democrat, 33 percent Republican, and 27 percent Independent in CNN’s exit poll.

I think the Republicans are the majority in the 100 member House of Delegates and the Democrats have a small majority in the 40 member Senate.

My experience is that controlling the legislature is what really matters.

The House of Delegates is up for election this year. It’s looking like coattails for the GOP are a strong possibility if this poll holds true.
