Then, why is Ed Gillespie ahead in the latest poll in Virginia by eight and Roy Moore ahead by double digits in Alabama?

The polls have been skewed (oversampling Democrats, for example) and inaccurate for at least two election cycles.

I live in VA. I'm not aware of that. My guess is Northam by 3-4 points.
