The poll suggested that 40.4 percent of Virginia voters prefer Ed Gillespie over 37.4 percent of Virginia residents, who favor Ralph Northam.

Northam also recently flip-flopped in favor of banning sanctuary cities; the progressive Democracy for America denounced the Ralph Northam campaign for Northam’s about-face in favor of banning sanctuary cities.
