VA-05: Democrats Close to Flipping Virginia House District Trump Won by 11 Points, Internal Poll

hat is how much Democrat Dr. Cameron Webb, is trailing Republican Bob Good, a self-described "biblical conservative," for Virginia's open 5th Congressional District, according to an internal Democratic poll provided to Newsweek.

The survey suggests that the district, currently held by Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump but was ousted by his party during a June nominating convention after he officiated a same-sex wedding, is becoming increasingly in play for Democrats. Despite Trump winning the district, which stretches from the North Carolina border nearly to Washington, D.C., by 11 points in 2016, Dr. Webb has continued to close his gap with Good.
