New Poll Finds VA Gov. Youngkin (R) at 90% Among Trumpists, Wildly Unpopular with Everyone Else

https://bluevirginia.us/2022/01/new-poll-finds-youngkin-at-just-44-42-2-pts-approval-in-contrast-northam-was-18-pts-in-april-2018-35-pts-in-december-2018#comment-5711972576

Youngkin’s at just 44%-42% approval, with his support overwhelmingly positive (90%-2%) among Trump voters and overwhelmingly negative (6%-74%) among Biden voters.

Youngkin’s approval ratings aren’t much different among parents of school-age children (43%-45%) and those who are not parents of school-age children (44%-40%).

For comparison, Ralph Northam’s approval rating was at 44%-26% as of April 2018, and at 59%-24% as of December 2018.

6% of Biden voters approve of him and 74% think he’s a pandering watered down Trump a hole.

Guess Youngkin is going right to the 'Separated but living together' stage.

Youngkin will lean into all that is Christo-Fascist White Nationalist tRumpism, and alienate the independents. His 56-58% DISapproval rating will grow with time.

They are loud and obnoxious and get the most news coverage, but they are not a majority.

If we turn out voters, we win.

And now they decide that they don’t like him? Their @sses should have voted when it mattered. Now we have to suffer 4 years with this @sshole.
