Roanoke Poll: Miyares Leads Jones in Va. AG Race by 8 Points

In the Virginia attorney general race, Republican Jason Miyares holds an eight-point lead over Democrat Jay Jones, with 46% and 38% of the votes respectively. The race has been heated due to Jones' controversial text messages from 2022, which he fantasized about violence against then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert. Despite the controversy, 87% of early voters for Jones said the text messages wouldn't have changed their minds. In the governor's race, Democrat Abigail Spanberger leads Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, with voters' top concerns being threats to democracy, inflation, immigration, taxes, abortion, and crime.
