Hillary Clinton is 16 points ahead of Donald Trump in Virginia, according to a new poll released Tuesday.
Clinton has 48 percent support to Trump's 32 percent among likely voters in the state, the Roanoke College survey found.
Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson has 8 percent, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein got 3 percent. In a head-to-head matchup, Clinton's lead over Trump grows to 19 points.
The poll also showed improved favorability ratings for Clinton in Virginia. Thirty-nine percent said they saw the Democratic nominee favorably, while 45 percent saw her unfavorably.

Internals and everything one would need to know about the poll:

It’s a technically good poll.
Two sources of error are the weighting to 2012 exit polls and forcing ‘leaners’ to choose.
Also consider this! Why is McAnus working feverishly to defy the Supreme Court to restore felon voting rights?
a state taken over by “civil servants” and felon voters and illegal alien voters and, of course, deceased Democrat voters as necessary?
this is how Obama “transforms” Amerika, in case anyone’s still wondering ...
oh yes, and there’s always the rigged voting machines (Soros investment) and the Soros funding of governors and state secretaries of state (they certify the votes) ... in case there accidentally aren’t enough Deceased Democratic votes
I expect NOVA to go Clinton so its no big deal.
Unfortunately not all of these are “garbage”...
803 voters in a state with a few million residents is a dubious sample. Give me 1200 -1500 respondents.
In the old days, a Democrat would never have won the state.
Today its a struggle for a Republican to win there.
Cantor had a 34 point lead vs Brat.
“Cantor internal poll claims 34-point lead over primary opponent Brat”
I bet 70% of these polled were housewives.
Yeah, you didn’t see it because they don’t want us to know the real truth :)
VA is basically a red state, save for a few inner city zip codes in Richmond and Tidewater / Southside, and the NOVA dragon.
Too many metrosexuals in NOVA vote with their “feelings” and “fairness”...
..Romney lost in 2012 by less than 4%. ROMNEY. This is bogus polling— VA goes to Trump...
It is the infestation of federal government roaches that we have in NOVA that have caused the problem. NOVA is now an extension of DC. But this year a large part of the state has been hit with unemployment and that is who Trump is playing too.
“72. a. [IF INDEPENDENT, OTHER OR REFUSED] As of today, do you lean more toward the
Democratic party or toward the Republican party? [RESULTS ARE COMBINED WITH
THOSE IN Q. 39]
Democrat 51%
Republican 39%
Neither/Refused 10%
“
This is a lie. They are trying to discourage voter turn out, because it’s a good chance that Trump is winning in Virginia.
Cause Grandma RICO told him too!
Seriously, there is no way he has personally reviewed 13,000 cases individually since the ruling.
I think it’s the advertising and media saturation. I don’t see how Trump wins VA except with divine intervention. Although I think the poll is an outlier, he is far behind at this point with women. He needs to connect with Republican and Independent oriented women to win. The internals on this poll are horrendous.
Correct. Trump is winning in Virginia. This is being some to discourage people from voting. It Will be all over the news as if it’s the gospel. Typical Dem lies.
This 16 point lead is PURE BS if this were true HELLARY’S buddy the governor wouldn’t be working overtime to MAKE SURE 200 thousand felons would be voting on Election Day !!! PURE BS!!!!
It’s +7 Democrat for affiliation. 39-D 32-R 21-I. But the question of do you lean Dem or Rep is 51-39 Dem. So really this poll is a +12 Dem, but that won’t be in the headline. Also 53-47 Female. This poll is very skewed, but all you’ll hear about is Hillary is way ahead in Virginia.
