New Fox Poll Explains Stunning Reversal: Youngkin Bursting Ahead, McAuliffe Collapsing
 [Red State] There’s been a major shift when it comes to the governor’s race in Virginia over the past two weeks.As we reported earlier, now the Real Clear Politics average of polls is showing Youngkin ahead of Terry McAuliffe for the first time just a few short days before the election. That’s in part due to a stunning Fox poll which shows Youngkin up over McAuliffe by eight percent. As Fox notes, that’s basically a complete reversal of the race from two weeks ago. It was 51-46% with McAuliffe up two weeks ago. Now, however, it’s Youngkin up, 53-45% among likely voters. That’s a stunning move within two weeks and it’s beyond the margin of error. Youngkin also leads with registered voters, by one percent. The difference has been the education questions which are powering up the GOP base, as well as bringing in independents and even Democrats. McAuliffe is still trying to defend his campaign-killing comment that parents "shouldn’t be telling schools what they should teach." Meanwhile, 79 percent of Youngkin supporters are "extremely" interested in the election compared to 69 percent of McAuliffe supporters. Posted by: Besoeker 2021-10-29 |
