This might be an outlying poll result, but Rasmussen is reporting today
that:

Democrat Terry McAuliffe has jumped to a 17-point lead over Republican
Ken Cuccinelli in the Virginia gubernatorial race following the federal
government shutdown that hit Northern Virginia hard and Hillary
Clinton’s weekend visit to the state.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Virginia Voters
finds McAuliffe with 50% support to Cuccinelli’s 33%. Libertarian
candidate Robert Sarvis is a distant third with eight percent (8%) of
the vote. Three percent (3%) like some other candidate, while five
percent (5%) remain undecided.

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters in Virginia was conducted on October
20, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3
percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Fieldwork for all
Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.

Wow. I don't see it as a 17-point race, although Cuccinelli is a real
right-wing religious ass, and maybe that's the reason. He's just way way
way out there on the crazy right, a Teabagger's teabagger.

Cuccinelli believes he should shoot himself in the foot with his mouth every chance he gets.
