Democrat Terry McAuliffe continues to outpoll Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in the Virginia governor race, holding an 8 percentage point lead less than four weeks out from Election Day, the latest survey shows.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday has McAuliffe, a former Democratic Party chairman, with 47 percent of the vote. Cuccinelli is at 39 percent. That’s consistent with other polls released this week from Politico and Christopher Newport University.
