A new Roanoke College poll shows Biden and Trump tied in Virginia. Each have 42% of the vote with 14% of voters saying they will vote for someone else. Only 2% of voters say they are undecided.
Job approval for President Biden is 35% while 52% approve of the job Governor Glenn Youngkin is doing. Two-thirds (64%) of likely voters are very certain of their vote choice, and another 28% are somewhat certain.
The economy continues to dominate among the most important issues, said 44% of respondents. Immigration (14%) and abortion (13%) were chosen more frequently than foreign affairs (8%) and crime (5%).
Respondents are more likely to view the Trump years as mostly good for the country (44% mostly good; 33% mostly bad), and they see the Biden years more negatively (25% mostly good; 47% mostly bad).
Republicans are very enthusiastic about the Trump years (87% see them as mostly good), while only half (50%) of Democrats think of Biden’s years as mostly good.

Virginia is in play in November. If Trump wins Virginia, he will win the Presidency. And he will help our Republican down ballot candidates.

Tied in Virginia? I hope that someone unties them.
Problem for the “14% of voters saying they will vote for someone else” is that there is no “someone else” on the Virginia ballot at this point. Last I checked, neither the Green, Libertarian or other parties had candidates on the ballot and I think the filing deadline is in mid August. It sure would be nice if Jill Stein got on teh ballot for the Greens because she could sink Biden in Virginia
