Virginia governor's race preview: The key counties to look for on Election Day
Fox News
History a late polling surge should give Republican challenger Glenn Youngkin some confidence going into election night against Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia gubernatorial race.
Statistics like these and a late polling surge should give Republican challenger Glenn Youngkin some confidence going into election night. But the one exception mentioned above is Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who won his first term as governor in 2013, following former President Obama's second victory in 2012.
McAuliffe, now seeking his second term, entered the race as favorite in a state that has leaned blue during the Trump era, and has enjoyed the consistent support of the Democratic machine. Even so, he leaves the trail lagging in the latest Fox News Poll and therefore more uncertain than ever about his political future.
