Youngkin leads McAuliffe for the first time in a Virginia governor’s race poll
The Washington Times ^ | Sep 22 | By Valerie Richardson -

Posted on 09/22/2021 6:26:03 PM PDT by RandFan

A Virginia gubernatorial poll released Wednesday shows Republican Glenn Youngkin leading Democrat Terry McAuliffe with likely voters for the first time, a sign that President Biden’s tanking approval ratings may have become a drag on Democrats.

The University of Mary Washington poll conducted Sept. 7-13 found the Republican businessman ahead of Mr. McAuliffe, the state’s former governor, by 48% to 43% with likely voters in a blue-trending state that Mr. Biden carried in 2020 by 10 percentage points.

The down-ticket Republican candidates for lieutenant governor and attorney general also held narrow leads over their Democratic competitors ahead of the Nov. 2 election, according to the survey of 1,000 Virginia residents, including 528 likely voters.

Stephen J. Farnsworth, UMW professor of political science and director of the Center for Leadership and Media Studies, said “this year’s contest for governor looks to be the closest statewide election in years.”

“This election looks very different from those of the past four years, when Democrats could win by substantial margins by just focusing the electorate on President Trump,” said Mr. Farnsworth in a press release. “He is not president any more, and recent Democratic advantages in statewide contests seem to have departed with him.”

There are a few other polls showing this neck and neck.

And four weeks ago Pretty Boy Newsom in Kali. was 50/50 in the polls to be recalled. Virgina is lost on Statewide candidates short of a 40% DC employee layoff where they all move out of Virgina to find another Teat to suck on.

I’m amazed, given how horribly Youngkin’s campaign has been run. I credit this more to how much the Dim party has pissed off the populous than to how they perceive Youngkin to be a good candidate with plans to pull Virginia out of the morass that the Northam administration has dragged it into.

We’re no longer a republic.

I think your trash doomers are on to something.

And the republic will stay lost until we go back to dumb voting machines.

Yeah. Uh huh. This is how they always start it. Youngkin doesn’t have a chance against the dem voter fraud machine. Not a freaking snowballs chance in hell

Uh huh, magic lizard people in machines, and ignore the fact that Trump did better in virtually every machine County as compared to 2016.

I guess the lizard people messed up there.

Soros plants, cowards and surrender monkeys give up the fight and rant on message boards about how all is lost.

Which one are you?

Watch. Va Beach and Fairfax will submit “just enough to win without a recount” at 4 AM like they have for two decades.

This is an important and critical trend for a Virginia election.

Smelling the victory and against a Clinton scumbag, it will taste all the better.
