Quinnipiac Poll in Virginia Shows Trump Unpopularity Hurting Gillespie
President Trump’s agenda is sullying the GOP brand in the battleground Virginia 2017 gubernatorial race. Today, a new Quinnipiac Poll shows both Democratic candidates for governor in Virginia have double-digit leads in a hypothetical race against Republican candidates.
Former Congressman Tom Perriello and Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam lead Gillespie 46-33 and 44-33, respectively. The two lead other GOP candidates by similar margins.
The poll also shows President Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a lowly 36% in the commonwealth. Meanwhile, Governor Terry McAuliffe enjoys a 52% approval rating.
“Donald Trump’s unpopularity is hurting Republicans on both sides of the Potomac,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “The Democratic candidate will be in a strong position to defeat a Trump-backing Republican in November. Virginia Republicans will continue struggling to explain their full-throated support for Donald Trump’s disastrous agenda to wreak havoc on the Virginia economy.”
