Is Terry McAuliffe Loosing Steam in VA Democratic Gubernatorial Primary?
Is Terry McAuliffe in trouble in his bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Virginia. A new survey suggests that the former DNC head may not be as far ahead as some recent polls have suggested: The SurveyUSA poll reports that in four Northern Virginia counties — Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun and Price William — challenger Brian Moran (D) “remains a force” with just one week until voters head to the polls.
