Virginia trending for Trump, second poll shows race nearly tied

A week after a poll of voters showed that Virginia could elect a Republican for the president for the first time in 20 years, a second poll released today backed up those results in what would be a boost to the former president’s comeback campaign. Donald Trump.

The Rasmussen Reports shared a poll today, which found Trump trailing Vice President Kamala Harris by just two points, 48%-46%.

A Trump victory would be a shock to Virginia Democrats, who were so confident of a Harris victory that they largely ignored the community where Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) is running for re-election, at like several Democratic House candidates.

Trump plans to stop in Virginia this week as part of a stepped-up, 11th-hour campaign schedule. Harris supporters are also turning up the heat in Virginia, which has voted for every Democratic presidential candidate since former President George W. Bush won the state in 2004.

“A new telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and American thinker finds that if the election were held today, 48 percent of likely voters in Virginia would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, while 46 percent would vote for former President Donald Trump. Four percent (4%) say they would vote for another candidate, while another three percent (3%) are still undecided. In 2020, President Joe Biden beat Trump by a 10-point margin in Virginia,” the polling group said in its analysis.

American thinker Editor-in-chief Andrea Widburg said: “Voters are unhappy with the status quo and are concerned about the integrity of elections.”

Rasmussen also polled voters in Texas, sponsored by American thinkerand found Trump leading Harris, 50%-44%. In the Texas Senate race, as in Virginia, the incumbent wins. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) holds a four-point lead over challenger Colin Allred, 47%-43%.

In both states, the top concerns voters consider are the economy, immigration and abortion.
