The latest WaPo poll shows McDonnell with a 15 point lead among likely voters, 54 to 39.
That vote narrows among registered (but not likely) voters to a seven point lead, 47 to 40. Economy, health care, and education round out the top three issues in the Commonwealth.
Another interesting number, on Q.29 the poll asks Virginians about a tax hike for transportation. 56% opposed, 41% favored.

Three interesting parts to this poll: First, abortion as an issue is a non-starter for the Deeds campaign (though some of that can be meshed into concerns about health care and federal funding for abortions). Second, there is no breakdown by region. Lastly, Q.2 was withheld… wonder what the WaPo is saving that for?
