#2025election — Public Fediverse posts

Democrat Abigail Spanberger has surged to a double-digit lead over Republican Winsome Earle-Sears in Virginia’s governor’s race, per a new Emerson College/The Hill poll. Spanberger’s support jumped from 42% to 52% since January, driven by big gains among independents (now backing her by 19 points), men (shifting from an Earle-Sears lead to even), and voters under 50 (now 27 points ahead). Earle-Sears struggles to expand her older voter base, while Spanberger enjoys a 51% favorability rating. Trump remains unpopular in Virginia, with just 42% approval. Can Spanberger hold her advantage?
