Lately, polls measuring Governor Glenn Youngkin’s popularity in the Commonwealth of Virginia have been a mixed bag of good and bad. But a new poll from Roanoke College shows the Republican now soaring nine points above President Joe Biden in Virginia.
The new data come after Youngkin and his colleagues in the legislature have swiftly accomplished multiple major campaign priorities.
