From poll results to policy initiatives, Bob McDonnell has consistently been in the lead. The most recent poll shows that he’s up by double digits and staying there.
PPP’s Oct. 16-19 survey gives him a 12 point advantage over Dirty Deeds. PPP’s survey three weeks ago had McDonnell up by just five points. SurveyUSA also has McDonnell up by an overwhelming number of 19 points…the highest so far if I’m not mistaken.
Deeds continues to be hampered by a high unfavorable rating at 48 percent in the SurveyUSA poll and his only leg to stand on at this point is the Washington Post. He’s losing supporters daily with his comments that alienate the only votes he probably had. I guess the best ally is a dumb opponent.
The fact that endorsements are flipping and poll numbers are surging for McDonnell lends well to the fact that Deeds’ campaign is the textbook definition of what one would call a “lame duck” candidate. Heck, Barry O won’t even touch come off his ivory tower in Washington to lend a hand. What an epic fail.
But keep your eyes peeled over the next 11 days because “with desperate times come desperate Deeds.”
