VA-Gov: Deeds Keeps Climbing in New SUSA Survey (Updated)

by: DavidNYC

Wed Jun 03, 2009 at 11:11 PM EDT

SurveyUSA (5/31-6/2, likely voters, mid-May in parens):

Terry McAuliffe (D): 35 (37)
Brian Moran (D): 26 (22)
Creigh Deeds (D): 29 (26)
Other/Undecided: 11 (14)
(MoE: ±4.4%)

Cap'n, will you have a look a' that!

Deeds was also the only candidate of the three to improve in head-to-heads against Bob McDonnell - in the last poll, he trailed 46-40, but is now just a point back at 44-43. McAuliffe and Moran both treaded water. The primary is this coming Tuesday, June 9th. Once again, SSP will be here to liveblog the results.

UPDATE (James): Suffolk has released a poll this morning showing Deeds with 29% to McAuliffe's 26%, with Moran at 23%. And with that, Deeds takes the lead in Pollster.com's graph.

He's pro-choice?

Did not know that. So the only "conservative" position he takes is on guns and, I assume, some LGBT rights?

That's how I could tell it was unequivocally NoVa

I didn't know that either. This article would not make me feel so comfortable about voting for him.

Of course, I don't vote in VA. And politicians can always evolve. . .

haha

it feels kind of good being right. Deeds has the profile and the rural southern Virginia base to take on and beat McDonnell. I'm glad to see Deeds surging now that McAufilie's skeletons are catching up with him. Better now than in the general, the WaPo article is killing him but there are a lot of other issues at hand, McAufilie was always the worst possible candidate, he was a bad Political Chairman and he was trying to use out of state fundraising connections to buy the Governorship. I don't much care for DLC captilation Governor, especially now that Dems are finally moving towards retaking the state legislature.

Gonna be a late night Tuesday methinks

Looking much like NY-26 last year only in this case it is the most electable candidate slipping through.

generally

If a candidate is that "electable," he wins the election.

Electable in the general

I think any of them could beat McDonnell but Deeds has the best shot. Then again I thought Edwards was the most electable...

You mean John Edwards?

Well, I didn't know about the scandal early on, but I did feel that he just kept on repeating his "my father was a millworker" thing over and over again, and it got tiresome (and somewhat disingenuous-sounding) after a while.
