“...A total of 658 completed interviews came from
random telephone calls and texts to 384 Virginians,
and 274 responses were drawn from
a proprietary online panel of Virginians.
Interviews were conducted in English.
Cellphones constituted 39% of the completed
phone and text to web interviews...”

I keep hearing the democrat party is all washed up, that they are in disarray, that they will be a permanent minority party. Uhh, yeah right. The main reason the democrats lost was Donald J. Trump. The same guy that republican party is refusing to support is the only reason for the victory in 2024. Kamala would’ve likely beat any other republican.

There’s no way ARL, ALX and FFX are going to vote Republican this go-round.

That’s a race between a leftist and a NeverTrump. Hard pass.

Clearly it’s not so out of whack as those numbers. But Sears will have a lot of trouble. This stupid off year election in VA is specifically tailored to make sure the GOP doesn’t win the governor’s race the year after a Republican wins the White House.

...Quotas were used to ensure that different regions of the commonwealth were proportionately represented. The data were statistically weighted for gender, race and age...

And finally we got the numbers we wanted.

"For the first time in eight years of polling, a majority (51%) thinks things in Virginia have gotten off on the wrong track, while two-thirds (66%) say the same about the country. President Donald Trump’s job disapproval rating (65%) is the worst it has been, including during his first term, while his 31% approval rating is low, but not his worst..."

Like deranged flea-bitten dogs, these Roanoke pollsters continue to live in an alternate universe...

My church is a big fan of sears but I don’t think she has a chance of winning.

she might pull some blacks in the tidewater but whatever she gains there—she’ll lose in the mountains. Otherwise the same dynamics holds—including republicans not coming out in the off year elections and then with Northern VA deciding the election for democrats.

thats conventional wisdom. If the race were held in 2026 imho things might be different —given what I think will be an economy on a tear.

I could vote for a decent Conservative whether they liked Trump or not, if Spanberger was the alternative.

NJ is trending Red. Scott Presler has been doing great work, and we have a good chance of flipping the Governor l. VA is too tied to the swamp.

Trump is trying to roote out the swamp. VA is it’s headquarters.

The problem in New Jersey is not the voters—they are getting better.

The problem is the Democrats who count the “votes” in the urban centers.
