** Put a bow on this one** VA 10 Wexton (Democrat) 56% Comstock (Repugnant) 43%

Voters who support Democratic challenger Jennifer Wexton in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District race are more motivated to vote against the incumbent, Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock, than to vote for Wexton, a new Washington Post-Schar School poll finds.

The opposite is true in 69 battleground districts across the country where more voters who support Democrats say they are rooting proactively for the party’s candidate rather than against the Republican, according to the survey.

In another departure from the national picture, the Republican Party’s reputation is weaker in the Northern Virginia district represented by Comstock than in battleground districts overall.
