New Wason Center Virginia Poll: McAuliffe “running away with Democrats’ governor bid; Herring has big lead on Jones for attorney general nod; Rasoul leads crowded Lt. Gov. field, but most undecided”

See below for the new Wason Center poll of the Virginia Democratic races for governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General. A few highlights include:

• “Six weeks before Virginia Democrats’ June 8 primary, nearly half of the Democratic voters surveyed (47%) back former governor Terry McAuliffe for the party’s gubernatorial nomination. None of the other four primary candidates reach doubledigit support: Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (8%); Sen. Jennifer McClellan (6%); former Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy (5%); Del. Lee Carter (1%). Undecided are 27%.”
• “Seeking his party’s nomination to a third term, Attorney General Mark Herring leads Del. Jerrauld “Jay” Jones, 42% to 18%, with 34% undecided. However, Jones has gained since our February poll, while Herring’s support has not changed.”
• “Del. Sam Rasoul leads a very crowded Democratic field for the lieutenant governor nomination, but almost two-thirds of Democratic voters surveyed are undecided (64%). Rasoul leads with 12%, and none of the other five candidates who remain in the race top 1-2% support.”
• “Enthusiasm is fairly high among Democrats, with 40% indicating they are very
  enthusiastic to vote in the primary, and 43% saying they are somewhat enthusiastic.“
