If you want to believe all polling organizations put out accurate polls, this morning you have to believe that Terry McAuliffe managed to turn what was a double-digit deficit just one week ago according to The Washington Post to a five-percentage-point lead today according to Qunnipiac University.

GOVERNOR – VIRGINIA (Quinnipiac)
Terry McAuliffe (D) 43%
Ken Cuccinelli (R) 38%

PRESIDENT – VIRGINIA (Quinnipiac)
Hillary (D) 51%
Marco Rubio (R) 38%

Mark Warner (D) 51%
Marco Rubio (R) 33%

This poll was done May 8-13 among 1286 registered voters. I tend to believe this poll a little more. It really is a shame that Republicans were handed a gift with the Democrats settling for a candidate as bad as Terry McAuliffe, yet decided to choose someone who could actually lose to him.
