Youngkin has the edge in Virginia race for governor, top pollsters suggest
Fox News
The biggest names in polling have analyzed the Virginia gubernatorial race between the GOP's Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe and found the momentum appears to be with the Republican.
Similarly, Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics rated the governor's race "Leans Republican," while it had previously characterized the race as "Leans Democratic."
While Virginia "is clearly trending Democratic," Youngkin enjoys "many significant advantages," the report added. Although the results of the Virginia governor race often serve as a bellwether for midterm elections the following year, the Sabato report warned that this is not always the case.
