NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Democratic candidate for Virginia governor Ralph Northam now has a seven-point lead over Republican candidate Ed Gillespie, according to a new poll released Friday from Christopher Newport University.
The numbers take Northam to the 50% mark while Gillespie trails at 43%. Libertarian Cliff Hyra polled at 3%, with 4% undecided.
This is the third tracking poll from CNUs Wason Center for Public Policy on the 2017 Virginia gubernatorial election. In the first tracking poll, released October 9, Northams lead was 7% (49% to 42%), before narrowing to 4% (48% to 44%) in the second tracking poll, released October 17.
The new numbers widen that gap.

But there has been tons of grass roots stuff going on all over the country since the inauguration.
I'm hopeful. If we can overwhelm the polls in enough places, they won't be able to cheat out of it.

(58,662 posts)2. 50% always seems like a really significant number in polling...
Numbers in the 40's can be more easily ignored, but 50%? That's like almost half.

especially when Republicans are the ones trailing.
