Spanberger Holds 10-Point Lead over Earle-Sears in Virginia: Poll

Republican Winsome Earle-Sears closes to within 3 points of Democrat Abigail Spanberger in Virginia's governor race, driven by cultural issues and shifting voter turnout, poll shows.

  • A new survey finds Winsome Earle-Sears trails Abigail Spanberger by three points, putting the Virginia race within the poll's margin as voters head into the final stretch.
