If the percentage of voters who said they'd definitely vote for McAulifee and those who "would consider" him are combined, he was 4% behind Cuccinelli and 8% behind Bolling.

But he has lots of room for improvement, since 32% of voters had "no opinion" of McAuliffe then (compared to 15% and 22% for Cuccinelli and Bolling).

28% said they definitely would NOT vote for McAuliffe, but there he has an advantage over the Republicans (a slight, 2%, advantage over Bolling, and a 13% advantage over Cuccinelli).
