“But Deeds in a recent debate said a tax increase was one option for addressing the state’s transportation needs, and McDonnell’s campaign has seized on the comment, putting his rival on the defensive. By a 51% to 36% margin, voters trust the GOP candidate more on the tax issue. While that’s little changed from earlier surveys, it’s certainly a better topic for Republican candidates to discuss. The tax issue also may resonate because it can be tied to other state and national issues.

By a 45% to 32% margin, voters now trust McDonnell more than Deeds on the issue of transportation. Previous surveys had found voters evenly divided on the topic. One question that always surrounds the transportation debate is how to pay for the proposed improvements.”

Thank you for the message. The above points are more than devestating for Deeds. Go Bob Go!!!
