36% of respondents said they were undecided. And among the 64% who have a candidate right now 41% say they could still change their minds between now and the primary.
That leaves 62% of the electorate undecided or malleable.
But there's definitely a front runner emerging- and he also has the most solid support.
Based on a blog post they put out a few days ago in response to the SUSA poll, I'd have to guess that is Terry McAuliffe emerging as the frontrunner. This is what they said on May 1:
The thing that surprised me most in the SUSA numbers was only 18% of the electorate being undecided. We've already started our poll and continue to find it more around 40%.

We do join them in seeing movement toward Terry McAuliffe so far although I don't know if we're seeing quite the magnitude of that they did.
Hi Alan,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, great blogging. Second, I was hoping that you could add my blog to your blog roll. I am an intern for the Deeds campaign in Charlottesville, and I maintain www.cvillefordeeds.com. The blog on the website is updated every few days with information on campaign happenings. The RSS feed for the blog is www.cvillefordeeds.com/legislation-updates.rss and the blog is at that address, but just substitute "php" instead of "rss".
If you see this, feel free to shoot me an email at reed@deedsforvirginia.com.
Thanks,
Reed
