Rasmussen is first out of the gate with a general election poll, released today.  This was a telephone poll.   The release to which I link notes the following

Candidate   Fav-Unfav-net     Veryfav-veryunfav-net
Deeds        59  27    22         27      9      18
McDonnell    52  19    23         28      8      20
