Support for Jay Jones Collapses in Virginia

“Support for Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones has tumbled among Virginia voters in the wake of a texting scandal that broke three weeks ago, but likely voters have not transferred much support to his opponent — Republican incumbent Jason Miyares — and the race is a tie,” according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll.

“The scandal has not affected the contest for governor, where Democrat Abigail Spanberger continues to hold a 12-point lead over Republican Winsome Earle-Sears despite GOP efforts to tarnish the Democrat for her ballot-mate’s problems.”
