Attorney General Bob McDonnell, buffeted by quasi-scandal from the release of his 1989 thesis from Regent University, which contained some highly controversial statements on social issues, hasn't seen his standing slide much. McDonnell leads state Senator Creigh Deeds 54% to 42% in the latest SurveyUSA poll, largely unchanged from earlier polling. Republicans appear set (for now) to sweep the downballot races as well, as Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling leads Democrat Jody Wagner 52%-42%, while Ken Cuccinelli leads Democrat Steve Shannon 54%-41% in the Attorney General's race.
