Republican keeps lead in Virginia Gubernatorial Polls

McDonnell still has a lead in Virginia despite the attempt by the Washington Post to make a big deal about McDonnell writing 20 years ago that it is better for the kids if women stay home to raise them. This doesn't seem as controversial to me as it is to the WP. Rasmussen Reports poll finds.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Virginia voters finds McDonnell leading Deeds 51% to 42%. That’s little changed from a month ago when McDonnell held the advantage 49% to 41%. All of those figures include “leaners.” Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning towards a particular candidate. . . .
