Christopher Newport University conducted a poll in the Virginia Governor's race, and found that Bob McDonnell leads Creigh Deeds 44.7% to 30.9%. Part of the reason Deeds hasn't generated substantial traction in the race is demonstrated by the answers to the second question. 66.7% say that McDonnell's thesis won't affect their vote either way, while 2.3% say the thesis makes them more likely to vote for McDonnell. Only 18.4% say the thesis made them less likely to vote for the former Attorney General.
