I take the headline below back; in SurveyUSA’s poll, Creigh Deeds has cut Bob McDonnell’s lead from 19 percentage points to . . . 17 percentage points. Ironically, this might be the best news Deeds has gotten in a while.

By the way, welcome to Virginia, President Obama!

In the race for lieutenant governor, Republican Bill Bolling is up 56–42; in the attorney general’s race, Republican Ken Cuccinelli is up, 57–41.

UPDATE: And now Public Policy Polling unveils their latest poll, putting McDonnell up 55–40.
