Most recent polls have shown the Virginia governor's race between Republican Bob McDonnell and Democrat Creigh Deeds narrowing, but SurveyUSA continues to be an outlier, putting McDonnell ahead by 55 percent to 41 percent with 4 percent undecided. The margin of error is 4 points.

Two recent polls, by Public Policy Polling and the Washington Post, had Deeds within five points and four points, respectively.

The one area in which SurveyUSA agrees with other polls is that McDonnell leads among independents. In this survey, that lead is 59 percent to 35 percent.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
