VA-GOV: Virginia GOP grows cautiously optimistic in governor's race

[RandySF]

Virginia Republicans are growing cautiously optimistic about Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears’s (R) chances in November’s gubernatorial race after polling showed the Republican nominee closing the gap.

A Roanoke College poll released last week showed former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) leading Earle-Sears 46 percent to 39 percent among likely Virginia voters. Another 14 percent of voters said they were undecided, while 1 percent said they would vote for someone else. The poll marked a shift from the previous Roanoke College poll, which showed Spanberger leading 43 percent to 26 percent in May.

The new poll also showed tight races in the lieutenant governor and the attorney general races....

Republicans say alleviated concerns about the management of the lieutenant governor’s campaign, coupled with a focus on cultural issues in some Northern Virginia schools, is benefiting the state’s GOP ticket.

6. There were a lot of good polls

And then we saw billionaires put their fingers on the scales. We’re working on getting out the vote . Culture wars work on republicans but not so much on democrats , we have flipped both chambers and stopped sweater vest also folks want to legalize cannabis dispensaries. If the hill picked only this poll there is an agenda.

4. cautiously? Talk radio in Richmond was taking a victory lap last week.

Roanoke College is usually a good poll. Let’s see what other polls show.

It will tighten. It always does.

8. I am skeptical on this poll

A lot of Virginians have been affected by the layoffs in government jobs and businesses losing their cheap labor and having to raise prices by the orange pedo felons administration. They weren’t too happy with the current repuke governor either. And it depends on who they poll also. If one picks a certain demographics they can get the poll results they want.
