A new survey of likely voters released on Wednesday shows President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump tied in Virginia.
The poll from the Institute for Policy and Opinion Research at Roanoke College showed Biden and Trump at 42% each among Virginians. But when other candidates are included in the survey Biden takes a slight advantage, 40% to Trump’s 38%. Although, that figure is within the poll’s 4.24% margin of error.from the college released days before Super Tuesday showed Biden leading Trump 47% to 43%. One caveat is that Nikki Haley was still challenging Trump for the GOP nomination prior to Super Tuesday.
Blue-leaning Virginia has voted for Democrats in the presidential election since former President Barack Obama flipped the state in 2008. The Trump campaign told GOP donors earlier this month that Virginia and Minnesota could flip back to the GOP, though Biden campaign officials dismissed the remarks.“These results suggest that Virginia could be ‘in play’ in November,” said Harry Wilson, senior political analyst for IPOR and professor emeritus of political science at Roanoke College. “But five months is an eternity in politics.
Republicans are also more enthusiastic about the Trump years, with 87% seeing them as mostly good, while only 50% of Democrats said the Biden years were mostly good.
