McAuliffe Holds Edge In Virginia

A new Monmouth poll in Virginia finds Terry McAuliffe (D) leading Glenn Youngkin (R) in the race for governor, 47% to 42%.

“A range of potential electorate scenarios show McAuliffe with a lead ranging from 2 points to 7 points depending on the model. Youngkin does better when more low-propensity voters are included in the mix.”

“Specifically, McAuliffe has a fairly comfortable lead among voters who have cast ballots in every general election since 2016 (52% to 41%) while those who voted in only 2 or 3 elections during that time are evenly split (42% for Youngkin and 41% for McAuliffe).”

A new Trafalgar Group (R) poll shows McAuliffe ahead 47% to 46%.
