Republican Glenn Youngkin led Democrat Terry McAuliffe in an internal Republican Governors Association poll conducted early this month, putting the GOP on the precipice of winning a major statewide race in Virginia for the first time in a dozen years.
Youngkin led McAuliffe, the former governor in search of a comeback, by a narrow 3 percentage points with a month to go in this key off-year campaign. But Youngkin was losing to McAuliffe by 11 points in RGA polling from May, and the trend line suggests to Republican operatives working the race that the GOP is on track to win the contests for lieutenant governor and attorney general and, possibly, to recapture the Virginia General Assembly.
Why is McAuliffe and the Democratic ticket in trouble in a blue state that chose President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump by more than 10 points just one year ago? Republicans reviewing the data blame Biden and his sinking job approval ratings, especially with independents and suburban men, although Youngkin advisers say the quality of GOP nominee combined with McAuliffe’s missteps deserve equal credit for the potential Democratic collapse.
“Terry McAuliffe is running on issues no one is talking about and against a candidate that’s not on the ballot,” Youngkin campaign senior strategist Jeff Roe said, referring to the Democrat’s attempt to convince voters that the Republican is a Trump clone.
“There are 20 days to go, but every fundamental measurement in this race is breaking our way, and the Democrats know it because Glenn is a generational talent with a positive vision for the commonwealth,” Roe added.

Exactly! If nothing else, make the cheaters work hard for their steal!
Bingo! Yet the coward crowd chimes in on every election thread telling everyone else how pointless it all is.
It’s the most disgusting and insidious form of trolling and self destruction that I’ve seen.
Tens upon tens of thousands of our forefathers died so that we could vote. Yet the cowards among us can be bothered to get off their butts to at least make the other side have to work hard to cheat.
I have news for them, virtue signaling your cowardice isn’t a badge of honor.
Unless the Republicants win by 40 points, they will find a way to steal it. They always do.
Va voters should have their smart phones handy:
<><>snap themselves signing to vote
<><>snap the registry
<><>snap themselves voting
etc etc etc
If only. Today dems want to ease mail in ballot laws, surprise, surprise.
Any one believe his is going to be a fair and honest election?
The dems know they need this one to stop the slaughter.
More folks in Northern counties than are registered or living will vote in those places.
And authorities will look the other way.
No confidence in any gub mint functions any damned place.
“Unless the Republicants win by 40 points, they will find a way to steal it. They always do.”
I really don’t think so. Using time honored and customary cheating techniques that Democrats have used for 100+ years, Dems can probaly get 3% (+1.5/-1.5). It is possible to do better than that in northern Dem cities. They had some unique opportunities in 2020, some highly unethical and immoral but apparently “legal” methods were used that improved those numbers. Many of those loopholes have been closed and/or will now be too carefully watched to use (unless the bastards somehow make them truly legal in the short window of time that they have).
The “soft” cheating was what did Trump in. The news media is very clearly on the take; the suppression of negative Biden news was and is worth far more than any “hard” Dem cheating.
With that being said, if you don’t vote, no problem. Someone else will do it for you.
It cost both seats.
And don’t forget the Losertarian voters. If they just skipped over the GA Senate race, the GOP would control the Senate. They kept Purdue just below 50% and forced the runoff.
I think they are planted by the Democrats. If not, they might as well be.
I agree.
I saw the same things happen in Virginia as happened in Pennsylvania and Georgia during the 2020 elections.
unlikely the democrats won’t try to do the same thing again.
Except in 2020, it wasn’t close.
What was astounding about 2020 was the pure brazenness of democrat cheating.
McAwful is a Clintonite and must be Governor again so he can be President
Being a Clintonite, he is an American Domestic enemy. The Clinton detritus will pull out all the stops.
Need to keep an eye on Fairfax County!
