With the election less than 2 weeks away, Republican Gubernatorial candidate and current VA Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is down 17 behind Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe.
The survey of 1000 likely voters was conducted 10/20/13 by the independent pollster Rassmussen and showed the republican candidate at his lowest numbers to date, with only 33% of the vote compared to McAuliffe 50%. This new data shows an interesting change from a 9/25 Rassmussen poll that showed the candidates only 6 points ahead – McAuliffe at 44% and Cuccinelli at 38%.
