[VIDEO] I've been hearing about this interview former VA Gov. Terry McAuliffe (or is it McAwful) walked off on this interview with a local TV station in Virginia. I just fast forwarded to the end of this 11 minute video and saw him as the reporter Nick Minock. His final response before walking off was to attack his Republican opponent Glenn Youngkin who he says will ban abortion and compares him to Trump.
According to Politico a day ago a Monmouth University poll has the race at a tie 46-46:
The poll shows both men with 46 percent support among registered voters. McAuliffe has lost ground since the last poll from the university in September, in which he held a narrow, 5-point lead. Two percent of voters prefer another candidate, and 7 percent are undecided.
Various modeling of the potential electorate from the pollster found anywhere from a 3-point lead for the former governor to a 3-point lead for Youngkin, a first-time candidate and private equity executive, the first time he has had a lead in any of Monmouth’s modeling in the state.
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.
“Suburban women, especially in Northern Virginia, have been crucial to the sizable victories Democrats have enjoyed in the commonwealth since 2017,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, in a release accompanying the poll.
“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.”
Could this be a sign for the 2022 midterms?
And I think McAuliffe is running for his old office again after waiting out a four year term with the office being held by Gov. Ralph Northam he's been rattled by the dynamics of this race.
