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.

Was the control of the Dominion voting machines that are hooked up to the internet, factored into this private Republican polling?
Only if it were a fair election.
exactly . the shenanigans that NoVA will pull off will be amazing
Only if China messes up the vote.
Kabuki theater, elections are now managed by demon rat operatives who assign votes rather than count them.
The doomer and coward crowd are doing everything to discourage conservatives from voting and making the other side work for it.
This is going to make some of the surrender white flag wearers here lost it.
Let us pray for our FRiends who will have a difficult time coping with winning.
“The doomer and coward crowd are doing everything to discourage conservatives from voting and making the other side work for it.”
You can see they are already having great difficulty coping.
Imagine how they will snap on election night.
Will this be a mail-in ballot election? I would be shocked if the Republican candidate for governor won.
Until 2020 is resolved, I have no faith at all in the “vote”.
Dominion is alive, well and kicking outside of any prison walls.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. The Dems have the cars revved up to collect ballots and have much, much smaller territory to cover vs. GOP for collecting ballots from their strongholds. A month to go is way too early to celebrate or to even indicate what the end result will be.

Does Virginia use zucker boxes?
How bout ballot harvesting in prisons & nursing homes?
Does VA require voter ID?
It would only take a slither of the GOP base being discouraged from voting to swing a close election. Probably cost one or possibly both Senate seats in Georgia. We wouldn’t even be talking about this $3.5 trillion boondoggle without those prominent voices calling on people to boycott voting in the runoffs.
They may have taken down the statues to Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, etc., but rest assured they are still voting in Virginia. As are others who have long gone on to their eternal reward.

Both GA GOP Senators voted to certify the stolen election after promising not to. They deserved to lose and did.
