The polls have closed in Virginia. By the time you read this, they will likely have announced a winner. I don’t know who that will be. This blog for the next week or so will be like living in the 19th century. It will take a week or so before I announce the winner of the Virginia Governor’s race as I get caught up.
So, more week old news!
Democrats Panicking in Virginia as Youngkin Draws Even – PJ Media
Another reason for Democrats in the state to panic: reliable Democratic regions in the state aren’t giving McAuliffe the margins he needs to win statewide.
The poll also suggests geography’s at play – Youngkin increased his already enormous lead in western Virginia – the reddest part of the state – while McAuliffe’s large lead in heavily-blue Northern Virginia has slipped slightly. The new survey indicates that McAuliffe retains single digit advantages in the Tidewater and Richmond/I-95 areas of the commonwealth.
“Suburban women, especially in Northern Virginia, have been crucial to the sizable victories Democrats have enjoyed in the commonwealth since 2017. However, their support is not registering at the same level this time around. This is due partly to a shift in key issues important to these voters and partly to dampened enthusiasm among the party faithful,” Monmouth University Polling Institute director Patrick Murray said.
Looks bad. But I still don’t know if Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) can overcome the margin of fraud.
