“Former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by 12 percentage points (51%-39%) in Virginia”
“In what was then a hypothetical matchup, Biden led Trump 48%-40% in February.” So Biden’s up from +8 points then to +12 points now.
“More than 90 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners said they would vote for Biden, while just under 90 percent of Republicans and their leaners said they would vote for Trump. Only 2 percent in each party said they would cross over to vote for the other party’s candidate. Only 2 percent said they were unsure about their vote, while 8 percent said they would vote for another candidate.” (NOTE: These results are *strongly* in line with Professor Rachel Bitecofer’s “negative partisanship” model)

2. You would not know that by watching Northam's briefings o FB

Full of trolls bashing him left and right. Open up Virginia! Open the beaches! Poor leadership! Lack of tests. I can’t wait to vote him out.. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 I want to tell them..wake up! VA is no longer a RED state. It could slip back to purple but right now it is blue.

4. See my post below

Curt Autry’s Facebook post is just as you described.

This poll and the “guarding your potatoes” line should make for some fun this afternoon.

3. Thanks. This will be great for the daily briefing

A local TV anchor (really popular on the Facebook) posts Northam’s live stream at 2 everyday. Lots of whining and talk radio BS so I live throwing this back at them.
