VA-GOV: Poll Sponsored by Right-Wing Group Has Abigail Spanberger Up 12 Points [View all]

See below for results from a new poll, by a group called SoCal Strategies – apparently a Republican group, although I can’t find much information about them, other than stuff like this (“SoCal strategies, which according to the 538 search bar has only 10 polls, has been exclusively used under the sponsorship of Red Eagle Politics (a partisan youtube channel). It makes me question their credibility.”). Also, this poll was sponsored by the “Virginia Project,” a (very!) right-wing group. And yet, as Ben Tribbett says, the results seem about right (at least for governor) – Abigail Spanberger up by 12 points, Ghazala Hashmi and Jay Jones up by 5 points each, but with a LOT more undecideds in those races (so their leads are probably greater?). Anyway…for what it’s worth – and, honestly, I’m not sure what to make of this – even a Republican/right-wing poll has Spanberger up 12 points.
