Comstock Still Trails In Virginia

A new Monmouth poll in Virginia’s 10th congressional district finds Jennifer Wexton (D) continues to lead Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA), 50% to 44%.

“The GOP incumbent’s favorable ratings have improved since the summer, but the challenger holds the advantage on key issues and is bolstered by the fact that Pres. Donald Trump remains unpopular in the district. The poll also finds that controversy surrounding the current Supreme Court nomination is not having an appreciable impact on this House contest.”

“Wexton extends her advantage to 52% to 43% using a model that incorporates a turnout surge in Democratic precincts similar to the pattern seen in last year’s gubernatorial contest. A low turnout model shows Wexton with a smaller 50% to 46% edge.”
