Approximately 10 days ago, a poll came out stating that Abigail Spanberger had a 17% lead over the current Lt. Governor, and thus the race was already over, and we Republicans should give up and accept our beating this coming November. I have some bad news for everyone, but this race is far from over, and the true fact is, no one knows who will win or lose this November.
1st off, while the poll says it surveyed 658 voters, the fact is this poll was not of likely voters. In fact, if you read the press release from the Roanoke College – you’ll clearly see they don’t even say if this was a poll of adult Virginians or registered or even likely voters.
2nd, this poll shows a rather unusual dip in favorability for Governor Glenn Youngkin. Yes the GOP has taken something of a hit thanks to an advisor from Mr. Youngkin’s Political Action Committee (PAC). So has Governor Youngkin. But the fact is that the current controversy regarding the Lt. Governor’s candidate will likely not be on everyone’s mind come November. If many of you remember, in August of 2021 former Governor Terry McAuilffe had a 8% lead going into the home stretch of the Governor’s race. Then Mr. McAuliffe reminded everyone that Democrats really did not think that parents had a say in their child’s education. The rest is history. Poll done by – SHOCKER – Roanoke College.
3rd, let’s do some history of polling. In 1988, after the Democrat convention, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis had a lead of approximately 17 points that summer. Unless I’m very wrong, then Vice President George H W Bush won the 1988 election just a few months later. The fact is that polling so far out from an election means very little. We do not yet know what the final issue will be that drives voters to the polls this November. Poll was done by Newsweek July 21-22 1988.
The fact is that this election is up for grabs. And once voters find out what a radical leftist Abigail Spanberger is, and that Winsome Sears is a conservative who has been out there fighting for our values these past 4 years, that voters will likely send the former US Marine Winsome Sears into the Governor’s mansion. If you want biological males beating your daughters, then vote for Abigail Spanberger. If you want abortion up and even after birth, then vote for Democrats. If you want the type of vehicle you drive to be determined for you from California, then vote for Abigail Spanberger.
If you love your daughters (and sons), then vote for Winsome Sears. If you like lower taxes and value life, liberty, and limited government, then vote team GOP this November. If you Back the Blue, you’ll be voting for Attorney General Jason Miyares this November. If you want lawfare and are against your local police departments, then vote for Democrats. It’s that simple.

LT Gov Sears is a veteran Marine not a former Marine.
Correct. There are no “former” Marines.

No matter which Candidate wins you will still be able to employ illegal aliens/undocumented immigrants via the 1099 so as to circumvent Virginia’s E-Verify and employer tax laws.
History of Virginia’s Executive Branch
McConnell (with AG Cuccinelli), McAuliffe & Northam (with AG Herring) and now Youngkin (with AG Miyares) did absolutely nothing but pander to the globalist and Virginia’s inept
“Right to Work” Sanctuary Employers and Building Contractors.
“Always faithful”, to the Illegals.
Frankly the GOP is going to lose SE Virginia because of off shore wind turbines and solar farms being co-opted by things like 300,000 sq. ft. data centers, instead of benefiting the residents who live there. What good is a Marine if they don’t even know where the battle is being waged?
When did the GOP ever win SE VA? I lived in Norfolk from 16 to 21. The whole Norfolk/VA Beach area is a cesspool of democrat traitors. I lived literally across the street from VCU. My polling place was swamped with college kids who carried the democrat party signs.
Bullshit. The only poll showing the governor’s race as being even a little bit close was a shady poll released by Chris Saxman’s “Virginia Free.”
Turns out, the Sears campaign has paid Saxman over $60,000 for “consulting fees”.
Spaberger is up by double digits and will remain so.
Meanwhile, Sears is appearing tonight on stage with Arkansas Governor Sarah Hickabee Sanders . . . this is after her appearances on John Frederick’s freak show.
Lets see. If I recall correctly you are the one who boasted of your rifle’s ability to put 5 rounds in a one inch circle at some 300 or was it 500 yards? Is that right? So you support Spanberger who, upon swearing in, will ask the lege to take away your right to own that deadly “weapon of war”. Do I have that right?
“. . . Spanberger who, upon swearing in, will ask the lege to take away your right to own that deadly “weapon of war”. ”
As I recall, back when Obama was elected, you wingnuts were all about “Obama will take away your guns!!!”” And the only thing that happened was that the slack-jawed goobers rushed to the gun stores to clean the shelves of AR-15s and after 8 years, Obama had confiscated not a single firearm.
Go peddle your horseshit to someone who will swallow it.
We “wing nuts” stopped it. You really do need to seek mental health counseling.
Howinhell do you even suppose that the voters will found out “what a radical leftists Spanberger is”. Not ONE of the local rags we call “newspapers” will ever post anything negative about her. My paper, The Richmond Times-Dispatch, is little more that a propaganda outlet for the most virulent anti-Trump/conservative/christian crap they can find. Every day I ask myself why I pay for the damned thing except my wife wants the coupons and she is a lib herself. I was happy to see that political columnist Jeff Shapiro finally quit but sure enough they replaced him with somebody name Bass to continue, along with Michael Paul William, to continue the lies and calumny against Trump and the few patriots we have left in the state.
John, good article. Patti is also right on target. Also, Spanberger voted 100 % against the America First Agenda and for every crackpot idea that Socialist Democrats could come up with. She is nowhere close to being a moderate liberal. She is a trained chameleon via the CIA. Don’t trust a word she says.
Our conservative Republican LG nominee John Reid also stands for lower taxes, life, liberty, limited government and backs the Blue, plus he is all over Virginia talking about 2A, Right to Work and protecting our Virginia heritage and statues. We must support the entire ticket, and John Reid is showing true leadership.
