Wide gender and racial gaps mark the first post-primary survey of the Virginia governor’s race,
as Democratic Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam leads Republican Ed Gillespie 47 – 39 percent,
according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
The Democrat leads 54 – 33 percent among women, while the Republican leads 47 – 39
percent among men, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.
White voters back Gillespie 48 – 40 percent, while non-white voters back Northam 65 – 20
percent.
Gillespie leads 91 – 4 percent among Republicans while Northam takes Democrats 94 – 1
percent. Independent voters are divided with 40 percent for Gillespie and 38 percent for
Northam.
