SHOCK POLL: Trump Gains Ground in Virginia as 2A Fight Continues
National File ^ | January 1, 2020 | Frankie Stockes

Posted on 01/01/2020 9:43:23 PM PST by RandFan

According to a new poll of 625 registered Virginia voters, former Vice President Joe Biden is the only Democrat hopeful outperforming President Donald Trump in the Old Dominion, and not by much.

The poll, conducted by Mason Dixon Polling & Strategy, pitted the President against four Democrats seen as the party’s most formidable front runners: US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and of course former Vice President Joe Biden.

According to the polling data, President Trump is leading Warren 48-44, Sanders 51-45, and Buttigieg 47-45. While Trump trails Biden 49-45, it would seem the President has gained extremely significant ground, as previous polls have reflected as much as a double-digit deficit for Trump when the two candidates are presented head to head.

The Mason Dixon poll carries with it a 4% margin of error, which when factored in, makes any one of these potential 2020 competitions a complete toss-up in a state recently considered a shoo-in for virtually any Democrat nominee.

In addition to being conducted in the midst of unpopular, highly partisan impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill, the poll’s results may have also been influenced by current events taking place in Virginia.

As has been widely reported, with Democrats preparing to take full control of the state legislature later this month, bringing with them promises of New York-style gun control and confiscation bills, Virginians of all stripes have responded.

So far, over 100 municipalities have declared themselves 2nd Amendment sanctuaries, vowing not to cooperate with or enforce unconstitutional gun laws.

The sanctuary movement, which has been described as a “2nd Amendment tsunami,” seems to have mobilized a seismic grassroots coalition statewide, and at this point, is sure to impact the results of the 2020 election as Democrats continue to wear the anti-gun label with pride.

Although Virginia doesn’t register voters by party, 42% of the poll’s respondents self-identified as Democrats, while only 30% identified as Republicans. The remainder called themselves independents.

KY is very different. Democrats there are conservative and they usually vote R.

Its a safe state for Trump. He’ll win easily in November and they’ll send Mitch McConnell back to the Senate.

This ain’t about Trump winning Virginia, it’s about the red states supporting Virginia patriots and the 2nd Amendment. Gun confiscation ain’t working in Virginia or anywhere else. Period.

Conservatives may be a minority in VA but even a minority has rights.

Resisting the tyranny of the majority is one of them.

It is my belief that Hillary is secretly legally named Rodham and she will carry that deception to her grave.

Not being a full-fledged Clinton cost her the election.

And she knew that when she canceled the fireworks.

Democrats can’t leave us Normals well enough alone. They always overreach.

While Trump trails Biden . . .

Can you believe this . . . Speaks volumes about the people of Virginia these days.

Slow Joe hasn’t exactly been moderate lately. If Biden makes it to the general I am sure President Trump will make his stated positions known to everybody.

Just like the democrats in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles who control the vote for the rest of their states, Virginia now has the urban metropolis of Northern Virginia which is corruptly run by democrats. Like the other cities, democrats in NoVa have refined the art of vote fraud to control the state elections.

Vote fraud in NoVa ranks with the best the democrats have elsewhere, with illegal aliens, green card non-citizens, out of state students, dead people, and multiple voters adding several hundred thousand democrat votes.

With democrats now in total control of the state, it will only get worse - same day registration, felon voting, gerrymandering, no voter photo ID, no purging of voter lists, etc. on their agenda.

“42% of the poll’s respondents self-identified as Democrats, while only 30% identified as Republicans. The remainder called themselves independents.”

In other words, skewed and without taking into account the geographical dichotomy between rural and urban. 642 sampled? Dream on.

That’s breaking news? That few people is basically anecdotal.

So the public is ok with Biden getting rich when VP in China and Ukraine money laundering and selling out his office in exchange for foreign aid taxpayer dollars.

Being a thief is now a days ok? But they want to see Donalds old pre White House taxes when he paid his taxes
under IRS audits without being fines being levied.

The MSM are ignoring the Biden’s and their corruption.

However he wont be able to get away with it forever. There are outlets covering it like the paternity battle so we will get the word out sooner or later.
