A Public Policy Polling survey of 500 likely voters just released has the former Democratic Party boss seven points up over GOP challenger Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. That’s a one point gain over a Quinnipiac University poll released last week and a three point gain over a similar PPP poll from last month.
In the new PPP poll, 44 percent support McAuliffe, 37 percent Cuccinelli, 9 percent libertarian Robert Sarvis and 9 percent are undecided.
That suggests there is room for Cuccinelli to gain in the fall when he is expected to step up his campaign, but his unfavorability rating might stop that cold. …
For the attorney general, 54 percent have an unfavorable view and 35 percent a favorable one. For McAuliffe, it’s 48 percent unfavorable to 36 percent favorable.
