I think that Trump has a good chance in Virginia. He ‘ll get some den votes like he will nation wide. Sadly the Richmond area has received an influx of leftist voters as the Nwo ect has pushed to move liberal’s into southern states, buying their homes ext moving them here. Just a few years ago chesterfield county the largest Richmond area county was firmly conservative. After the last 8 years of govt manipulation it is now liberal or neck and neck. Taking our tax money and working to destroy our nation. We will prevail anyway !

Virginia is a place where a lot of people hate both parties, and vote 3 rd party. This hurts the conservative imo. I believe Trump has a very good chance to win Virginia though.

Virginia is supposed to be solidly blue, so if Trump is showing strength there, that's a good sign that the state is in play.

Vote Trump!

The dems have been winning Virginia illegally. I’m waiting for someone to step up and start to put people in prison for it. Its treason and should be treated as such. Trump should do something about this when in office. Herring the disater lost his election.

I don’t think the r-party of VA recovered from only giving the choice between Romney and Paul while there were other candidates still in the primary race. A lot of folks were really hot over that one.

I think Trump as an outsider will help him more than hurt him in VA.

Things are definitely trending in the right direction. In the last Roanoke College VA poll from Jan. Hillary was ahead of Trump by 17%. Unfortunately, Trump has only moved up by 3 points, while Hillary has dropped precipitously. At any rate, this is the best poll Trump has had so far in the state:

Agree with that. Hopefully we get a win this time.

Oh, I’m certainly done underestimating Trump. I’m just saying that Virginia is going to be hard work.

All the yellow counties (in addition to the red ones) in the Western part of the state will go big for Trump. He did the best in Buchanan county (the biggest coal county in the state) than anywhere else in VA during the primary, even though it is traditionally Democrat. I have a few different relatives in Southwest Virginia that often vote Democrat, who are enthusiastic about Trump now. He’s going to get a huge percentage of Democrats supporting him in SW. He will also get a lot of support in the Shenandoah Valley and Southside, while the military folks and rural whites in the East will go for him big too. The question is will all this offset the concentrated populations of Northern VA, Richmond, and the heavily black areas of the Tidewater. I don’t know, but I hope Trump really works hard at winning the state, as it’s still definitely doable. I wish I could believe he’ll win in a landslide, but I think it will be close one way or the other.

Hope you are right. I do think Trump has a great chance to win Virginia.

Virginia has become a swing state, thanks mainly to the explosive growth of the Federal Government.

Romney nearly won it last time, hopefully Trump will tip it away from the Political Dark Side.

This is good news. Also I think Trump will win and will cut Hillary’s margins in places that Obama won solidly. Also McAullifes corruption won’t help Hillary.

The cloud of suspicion over McAuliffe, after the conviction of McDonnell, will resonate. Hillary will probably not want to be seen with him in VA appearances, so that definitely blunts his ability to campaign with and for her. And when Trump campaigns in VA, he can tie the two together, making them both look bad.
