Latest poll (Oct 31) in VA Governor's race

The Washington Post: Northam 49, Gillespie 44.

However, RCP's average of the last 6 polls is Northam 46.3, Gillespie 42.7.

In my opinion, given what I call "the hidden Gillespie voters", Gillespie may actually gain 5% and the win in actual voting.

Turnout will be the key.

Warner was supposed to win easily in 2014 senate race (10% or more). He won by less than 1%. In 2013 McAuliffe was leading in the polls by 8%. He won by 2.5%. Been reading that Northam's internal polling is steady with him up 4-8%.
