PPP Virginia preview

[Tender Branson]

Obama's numbers in Virginia continue to look impressive. That's going to be a tough one for the GOP to get back

Trump's fav in VA is in the 20% range, in six months we'll look back in wonder at the fact that he was ever taken seriously

That's certainly encouraging

[Mehmentum]

Virginia is a lot like North Carolina which PPP polls much more regularly.  Both are former Republican strongholds with substantial minority populations and are becoming more liberal because of Urban growth.

I'm happy that my home state is going well for Obama. =)

VA also has a standout local economy right now, and that is probably helping incumbents in general there.  If national unemployment drops to 8% by election day, it could easily drop to 5 or 5.5% in VA.  There wouldn't be an observable economic backlash under those conditions.  It could be the inverse NV of 2012.

[Person Man]

Yes. North Carolina is one state that has and will probably vote for Obama again and yet its a state where the "N-word" is ok and where people laugh at gay jokes.
