A new Quinnipiac poll in Virginia shows Ralph Northam (D) leading Ed Gillespie (R) in the Virginia governor’s race by eight points, 47% to 39%.

Key finding: Just 25% of voters said they were more likely to vote for a candidate supporting President Trump, and 46% said they were less likely to vote for a Trump-friendly candidate.

1. Good news but most polls have been crap for a while now

they are either missing voters or a certain segment refuses to be polled

2. Yeap, I don't trust a poll till the day after the election.

3. This will be a fun race to watch

4. Let me guess. The race will tighten

and Gillespie will pull off a win at the last minute!

Sorry for the snark. I hate these people.

5. Northam will win. n/t

6. Historically, Virginia goes for the candidate not from the President's party...pres. Obama

was the only exception that I can remember. And the GOP in Virginia is a mess. I think we take the seat.

7. if we lost this one, i'd genuinely be devastated

because Va is actually a purple-blue state and we should win this
