Independent Voters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first metric is independent&nbsp;voters.<em> Politico<\/em>&nbsp;acknowledged independent voters in Virginia are breaking for&nbsp;Youngkin. \u201cIn three surveys released this week, Youngkin had 7- , 22- and 18-point leads among independents,\u201d the publication wrote.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.8787878787879\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here\u2019s the crowd in Alexandria, where Glenn Youngkin is delivering his stump speech at a farmers\u2019 market this morning. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CiUTW4UCHQ\">pic.twitter.com\/CiUTW4UCHQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eric Bradner (@ericbradner) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ericbradner\/status\/1454420327530893313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the Commonwealth of Virginia, partisan voter registration does not exist. So independents in Virginia are self-designated but still may lean Republican or Democrat. About one third of registered voters identify as an independent, making polling tricky.<\/p>\n<p>It is likely high Republican enthusiasm may help turn the vote out among those who identify as independents but who typically vote for Republican.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Parents Concerned About Education<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Parents are the second key indicator breaking for&nbsp;Youngkin, <em>Politico<\/em> reported. A Fox News poll <a href=\"https:\/\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Fox_October-24-27_Virginia_Topline_October-28-Release.pdf\">revealed<\/a> Youngkin in leading his Democrat challenger by 14 points with likely voters who are parents.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>The parents are likely polling well for&nbsp;Youngkin because of a sexual assault scandal in Loudoun County\u2019s school system in which there was an attempted coverup. Parents have also taken note of Critical Race Theory (CRT) being taught in Virginia schools.<\/p>\n<p>Youngkin\u2019s opponent has&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/now\/terry-mcauliffe-calls-critical-race-150200327.html\">denied<\/a>&nbsp;CRT is taught in Virginia schools. \u201cIt\u2019s not taught here in Virginia,\u201d Terry McAuliffe claimed&nbsp;October 7 about CRT in Virginia. \u201cWe can ask about any topic. Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve said all along, and it really bothers me \u2014 this whole idea of stirring parents up to create divisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Dispute McAuliffe\u2019s claims, concerned parents have protested at school board meetings that CRT is being taught in Virginia schools. The protests have led to&nbsp;Attorney General Merrick Garland permitting an FBI probe into parents, predicated on a faulty memo from National School Board Association (NSBA) which labeled parents \u201cdomestic terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Joe Biden 2020 Voters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The third metric swinging towards&nbsp;Youngkin are 2020 Joe Biden voters. A <em>Washington Pos<\/em>t poll <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1ne6DjNT-3vLGgPHEd-dvFjDF3ouU7Xdyo_p4bpyPSv8\/edit#gid=1890631192\">revealed<\/a>&nbsp;McAuliffe is only winning 90 percent of 2020 Biden voters. Youngkin, meanwhile, is winning 99 percent of Republican voters and six percent of Biden voters.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>It should be noted President Biden only has a 43 percent approval rating in the state, according Fox News polling. \u201cAnd 14 percent of respondents who said they voted for Biden \u2014 a small but not-insignificant figure \u2014 now disapprove of his job performance,\u201d <em>Politico<\/em> noted.<\/p>\n<p>The inability of the Democrat candidate to win those who voted for Biden in 2020 could swing the state in favor of&nbsp;Youngkin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Republican Base<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The forth metric&nbsp;favoring&nbsp;the Republican is strong support among the GOP base for&nbsp;Youngkin.&nbsp;\u201cPolls show Youngkin winning virtually every Trump voter who says he or she is planning to participate next week, but his ability to bring the former president\u2019s base along while keeping Trump at arm\u2019s length is even more impressive than that,\u201d <em>Politico<\/em> wrote.<\/p>\n<p>According the <em>WaPo<\/em> poll, Youngkin has nearly double the lead (61 percent to 33 percent) in rural Virginia.&nbsp;Youngkin\u2019s numbers in this category are far better than Trump\u2019s in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Chinese Coronavirus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the issue of coronavirus has favored&nbsp;McAuliffe\u2019s campaign. The monthly cases of coronavirus have dropped, giving the Democrat candidate less fodder to encourage voter turnout. Virginia voters also do not rank coronavirus very high on their list of concerns.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Post-Schar School poll, only ten percent of Virginians <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/10\/30\/key-groups-glenn-youngkin-virginia-517777\">believe<\/a> coronavirus is the top issue in the state. Education, however, ranks near the top at 24 percent while the economy, burdened with inflation, sits just below at 23 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, a \u201csurvey on Friday from the Republican firm&nbsp;Echelon Insights&nbsp;actually gives Youngkin a 1-point lead on who is trusted more to handle the Covid-19 pandemic,\u201d <em>Politico<\/em> acknowledged.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Wendell Huseb\u00f8 on Twitter&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WendellHusebo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\"><em>@WendellHuseb\u00f8<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five\u00a0key indicators have turned into bright spots for Republican Glenn Youngkin\u2019s gubernatorial campaign in the final stretch of the Virginia race.
