Inside the poll numbers

Are you a Democrat excited about the latest poll?
Look inside the numbers, dude.
To have McAuliffe up by five points, the poll used an electorate of 35 percent Democrats, 25 percent Republicans and 31 percent Independents.
Democrats plus 10 in the poll.
What about the recent Washington Post poll that showed Cuccinelli ahead?
Republicans 26, Democrats 28, Independents 35.
More Democrats in a poll and McAuliffe's numbers go up.

Dead heat

Quinnipiac comes out with its latest poll, showing a tie between Ken Cuccinelli and Terry McAuliffe - if Bill Bolling is on the sideline.
Bolling gets 13 percent in a three-way battle, but here's his bad number - 72 percent don't have an opinion on him after eight years as Lt. Governor.
