Poll: Dem leads by 14 in Virginia governors race.

[elleng]

'Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) leads Republican Ed Gillespie by 14 points in the race to be the next Virginia governor, according to a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday.

The poll found Northam taking 53 percent over Gillespie, a former Republican National Committee chairman, at 39 percent. In the previous Quinnipiac University survey, released in September, Northam led by 10 points, 51 to 41 percent.

The survey appears to be an outlier. Three polls released in October have found Northam ahead by between 4 points and 6 points, while a fourth poll, conducted by Monmouth University, found Gillespie ahead by 1 point.'>>>

6. Qualified good news perhaps?

I saw an article that showed a statistical tie. Turnout and enthusiasm will be critical, in my view, to most 2017 and 2018 elections to overcome the GOP structural advantages.

7. Yes, qualified.
