Jones Text Debate
The poll found that 80% of voters questioned had heard or read messages about 2022 Attorney General nominated Jones discusses the shooting where Speaker Thilbert, Rph Shenandoah.
Among those who said they had already voted for Jones, 87% said they would have supported him anyway, while 1% said they would be changing their vote for Miyares. Another 5% said they would not vote in that race, and 8% declined to answer.
“Like most elections, this one will be decided by how many people vote and how they vote,” said Harry Wilson, Imbar’s interim director and Professor Emeritus at Roanoke College in Roanoke.
“While Spanberger appears to be increasing his support among Democrats, Earle-Sears can only slightly increase his support among Republicans, and he needs to run for Independents long enough to do so.”
Wilson added that “the races for lieutenant governor and lieutenant general are within the margin of error of the polls, even if those are recent.”
While Jones’ clearly lost some support among Democrats, they did not continue to support Miyares,” Wilson continued.
“As it pertains to Jones, the Miyares are now moving slowly between independents. There may never have been an independent. It may have been seen to see the diversity between the public race for the Governor and the representative.”
