RALEIGH, Va., Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Two polls Wednesday give former Democratic Party head Terry McAuliffe a slight lead over Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in the race for Virginia governor.
Public Policy Polling said its telephone survey of 602 voters, conducted Jan. 4-6, found McAuliffe, generally regarded as the likely Democratic nominee, leading likely Republican nominee Cuccinelli 46 percent to 41 percent. The five point lead is slightly better than the poll's 4 percentage point margin of error.
