The new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of the Virginia gubernatorial race has Republican Bob McDonnell still leading Democrat Creigh Deeds by a healthy margin.

The numbers: McDonnell 50%, Deeds 43%, with a ±4% margin of error. This is essentially unchanged from the last Kos/R2K poll in early August, when McDonnell was ahead 51%-43%.

This differs from yesterday’s Rasmussen poll, which put McDonnell ahead by only 48%-46%, and suggested that his hard-right college thesis was hurting him.
