A new poll shows former Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., has a noticeable lead over former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, R, in a hypothetical matchup in the state’s lieutenant governor election next year.

With a full slate of candidates already running for governor, and an opening for the No. 2 spot, Webb would defeat Gilmore in an election held today by a margin of 40-30 percent, according to Public Policy Polling. Thirty-one percent said they were “unsure.”
