McAuliffe has lost ground since the last poll from the university in September, in which he held a narrow, 5-point lead.
Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin are deadlocked in the state's governor's race, according to aThe poll shows both men with 46 percent support among registered voters. Two percent of voters prefer another candidate, and 7 percent are undecided.
The two men have seen their support flip among independent voters. Youngkin leads 48 percent to 39 percent in this month’s poll, compared to a 46 percent to 37 percent lead for McAuliffe in the September poll. Notably, McAuliffe’s lead among women has shrunk from a 14-point lead last month, down to a 4-point lead in the poll now.
“However, their support is not registering at the same level this time around,” he continued. “This is due partly to a shift in key issues important to these voters and partly to dampened enthusiasm among the party faithful.” Youngkin’s recent focus on education could also explain the tightening race. It is chosen the second most as a leading factor for Virginians as they decide their choice for governor, trailing just jobs and the economy.
