Virginians deeply divided on Spanberger months after her landslide win A Washington Post-Schar School poll finds that Virginia voters are highly polarized over Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D), who ran as a unifying centrist.

NEW Washington Post-Schar School poll: Virginians deeply divided on Gov. Abigail Spanberger months after her landslide win, story w/ @schneidergs.bsky.social & @praveenavsoma.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“Some amount of polarization is baked in, but this is unusual at this early stage of her administration and given that she had long cultivated a centrist image,” said Mark Rozell, dean of George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government, which co-sponsored the poll.

Virginians deeply divided on Spanberger months after her landslide win A Washington Post-Schar School poll finds that Virginia voters are highly polarized over Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D), who ran as a unifying centrist.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s approval rating stands at 47 percent two months into the Democrat’s term, with 46 percent of voters disapproving in a Post-Schar School poll.

Her current ratings reflect sharp polarization among Virginia voters.

This poll's likely voters suggest higher turnout than for the 2025 VA governor election. Same happened in California's vote (11.5 million vs. the 11.1 in the 2022 election). Very unusual times when turnout for ballot measures exceeds turnout for statewide offices!

Poll: Virginia voters narrowly support redistricting to favor Democrats A slight majority of Virginia voters supports giving Democrats a temporary edge in congressional maps, but opponents are more motivated in new Post-Schar School poll.
