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.

Let this be true!!! ANYONE but McAuliffe!!!!!!
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.
Looking much like NY-26 last year only in this case it is the most electable candidate slipping through.
Also shows Deeds with the lead and McAuliffe cratering.
Creigh Deeds (D) 30 (13)
