Hillary Clinton expanded her considerable lead over Donald Trump among voters in her vice president’s home state of Virginia in the latest Roanoke College poll.
Clinton carried the race by 19 percent, 55-36, among likely Virginia voters, according to the poll conducted Aug. 7-17.
When third party candidates were included, Clinton led by 16 percent, 48-32, with Libertarian Gary Johnson polling at 8 percent and Green Party’s Jill Stein polling at 3 percent.
The Roanoke College poll was conducted Aug. 7-17 over the phone among 803 likely Virginia general election voters, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
The poll showed a massive jump for Clinton since Roanoke last polled Virginia likely voters. The two presidential candidates were tied at 38 percent in the late May poll.
TPM’s PollTracker Average for the general election in Virginia shows Clinton leading Trump, 52.7 to 38.6.
And that’s before the Governor reinstated the right to vote for 12,000 felons.
Boing! Up, up and away…
I think the more the Orange Tramp shows up to pander in VA, the higher Hillary’s numbers are bound to go.
Trump: Felons for Hillary are doing their best. But I am still ahead of her 52 -48 as Gary and Jill will side with me before the election.
Oh snap!
Very impressive! No wonder she stopped advertising there.
I don’t think I could pull those kind of numbers in my own family.
