"Pollsters are doing their job"...I think it more means that someone is quite off or that polls are increasingly not reliable.

In any event, we've seen these "unwinnable" races in Virginia due to pre-election polling showing Democrats with "insurmountable" leads and Republicans then pulling out and not devoting much in the way of resources - in some cases almost no resources, only on election night for the results to be much closer than expected, even razor thin, indicating that if it had not been given up on and a full fledged effort were to be pushed, it may have been one. This happened 3 times in a row - the last governor's race, the Senate race in 2014 (especially - no resources, no GOTV effort - a supposed huge lead for the Democrat, and the result was a razor think loss on election night), and the presidential race in 2016...all of which had all but been written off then on election night - it's mysteriously much closer than expected. Who knows if that is true this time and which of these polls is accurate - if either one...but history indicates it shouldn't be written off.

I have no dog in this hunt. It’s a Communist vs. a globalist Bushian RINO. I pity the (once) good people of Virginia this shitty “choice.”

The last Governor’s race was lost because the establishment would rather have Terry McAwful than a conservative.
They sabotaged Cucinelli at every opportunity.

The last Senate race was lost because Amnesty Ed refused to go after Warner’s vote for Rubio’s amnesty (because he supports amnesty, too)

This Governor’s race will be lost because not enough people believe Amnesty Ed has changed his mind, despite the ads.

Hoping enough right-of-center Virginians make an effort to effectively shut down four more years of Dem rule in two weeks. Gillespie has excellent radio ads on many stations, especially during conservative talk radio about tax cuts, fighting sanctuary cities, and MS13 gangs.

During the glory days of Bush II, Gillespie told the Manchester Union Leader that “the days of small government Republicans is over!”

Screw him.
