It appears Randy Forbes is in the fight of his life in the 2nd Congressional District. In an exit poll conducted in one swing precinct in Virginia Beach, Del. Scott Taylor has a substantial lead over sitting Congressman Randy Forbes, who because of redistricting left his 4th District seat to attempt to succeed the retiring Rep. Scott Rigell in the 2nd District.
In a poll conducted by The John Fredericks Radio Show at Great Neck precinct, in an area of Virginia Beach Forbes is thought to need to carry the district, the poll revealed the following percentages of support:
Del. Scott Taylor: 56%
Rep. Randy Forbes: 43%
Pat Cardwell: 1%
The poll was taken over the course of 6.5 hours (half of the voting day), with a sample size of 56% of eligible, non-absentee voters (141 out of a total of 250, with 109 voters declining to participate).
Turnout is moderately light so far, consistent with past primary elections, which means there could still be big swings in vote totals with the evening rush. However, if these results hold in the heart of the district, Forbes will have to pull significant majorities from the Peninsula and other outlying areas to overcome Taylor’s apparent lead. This could lead to a huge upset over one of Virginia’s most senior legislators, which would be consistent with the results of other polling done over the course of the last week and provided to TBE.
John Fredericks will be providing live coverage of the results tonight beginning at 6:00pm.

I’ve been listening to John Fredericks for a few years now, and time and again, his political predictions come true. That’s why I continue to listen to him on my morning work commutes.
I voted for Scott Taylor and have urged everyone I know to do the same….
You really are a wild and crazy RINO if you voted for Scott Taylor….
You’ve outdone yourself in stupidity by touting one precinct’s poll results.
Taylor 79, Rigell 61, Cardwell 1 would be the actual results if you reverse the math.
Big farkin’ deal. I’m betting this article will disappear after the polls close.
It’s designed to self-destrict at exactly 7:01 PM tonight so thanks for the compliment, Bruce! See you soon!
The record shall indicate that the stupidity that I’ve mentioned is solely aimed at Jeanine. You’re just the HypeMaster. 😀
Oh now Bruce, go ahead and make fun of me all day long…but Jeanine is a great lady and a saint! We all love Jeanine!
Aw shucks Bruce, you say the sweetest things about me.
Yet now, after the final results, we see that John Fredericks was almost exactly right. Clowns 1 Bruce Hedrick 0
Does this put you (Bruce) in the newly created category of No-Talent A$$ Clown?
Two dollar signs? Hells yeah!
Which represents the 2 dollars it would take, coupled with your political insight, to buy a cup of coffee.
Doesn’t sound very scientific.
Who needs science? We go by baseless innuedos, poltical rumors, gut instinct, Democrat meddling, the Godfather’s predictions and then we report the exact opposite of what the consultant class says: its proven to be a winning formula for six years running! Briliant! Oh, by the way, we don’t believe in global warming, either!
I predict that Donald J Trump will win the election in November..
Last August or September I was talking about how a major terror might win Trump the election.. The terror attack in Orlando by a Muslim Democrat won the election for the boy.
Sunday, yesterday and today have been running around in my Trump t-shirts and hat, and people have been talking to me. Trump supporters are starting to come out of the closet now.
One example. Have a friend who has been busting my chops about my support for Trump since last July.. Would never vote for Trump. Today she told me that she is voting for Trump. And her husband. And everyone at the company where her husband works. Also told me why but that is my secret.
John Fredericks is a clown. I didn’t realize he was still on the air anywhere. Did he find a new sponsor to buy him air time someplace?
He is on the air all across Virginia.
Who? Taylors sell out bought enforcer who buys airtime?
Sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about.
I like clowns!
That was actually a double slam. He called you a clown, and also not one of the well-known clowns… just a clown. You didn’t even rate a Clarabell on the clown scale to him.
I love unknown clowns the best – so thanks for the compliment. Next time go for the trifecta: triple slam! That has more impact, don’t you think?
By the way, this Twist Martini Restaurant in Town Center is a great place – staff is awesome!
Come to Danville and I’ll pay* for dinner!
* = Dinner choice must be one of SouthsideCentral’s sponsors where I trade out professional services. 😀
I love Danville and the south side! you are on – sounds like fun!
A bit early to be releasing polling results unless you want to impact later voters.
Conspiracy theory?
I like your radio show, but I think this is improper.
Its a push poll. Forbes beats Cardwell-Taylor by a 20 point margin.
We will see soon enough. I’m not fan of carpetbagging when Democrats or Republicans do it.
It isn’t carpet bagging when the court makes your district impossible. Furthermore, Taylor moved to get his delegate seat. So, Jeanine I hope you support Cardwell.
I had no dog in the hunt.
Wow I nailed another one! It’s a great night in America! Welcome to the real political revolution!
Indeed you did! Congrats!
His poll was pretty darn accurate.
Of course!
…..
one precinct is hardly an influencer.
