VA-GOV: Early Voting Begins in Virginia With New Poll Shaking Up Race

With early voting beginning Friday, a new poll from Christopher Newport University found the Democrat candidates leading in off-off-year elections in Virginia and that they have gained ground since the previous major poll, which showed the candidates neck and neck.

he new polling, conducted by the CNU Wason Center for Civic Leadership, surveyed 808 likely Virginia voters from Sept. 8 to 14.

The poll found Abigail Spanberger, a former congresswoman and the Democrat gubernatorial candidate, leads her race with 52%. Her opponent, current Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, had 40%.

However, another recent poll of 1,025 likely voters—conducted Aug. 23-26 by Co/Efficient with a margin of error of 3.06%—showed Earle-Sears trailing by just 5 points, 48% to 43%.

I’m not saying it’s likely, but I remember in 2014, Warner looked like he would win reelection in a blowout, but he barely squeaked by. Granted, different year, different political environment. Winsome-sears is a lunatic. Trump is killing federal jobs, and spanberger is a good fit, but crazy people can win if people get complacent (I’m looking at you 2016).
