New Poll: In Swing Districts  Voters Strongly Support Governor-Elect Ralph Northam and the Democratic Agenda
Richmond  Va. — According to a new poll by Public Policy Polling  Governor-Elect Ralph Northam remains popular with voters in Republican-held legislative swing districts — and voters there strongly back bipartisan policy solutions on a range of issues  from health care to gun violence prevention to economic development.
“ Ralph Northam  ran on a common-sense agenda to move Virginia forward last November — and  he  won in a landslide victory ” said DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker. “Now  voters want leaders in both parties to come together and work with  Governor-Elect Northam  to pass common sense solutions that help Virginia families. As the new year begins  lawmakers in the General Assembly have a unique opportunity to put aside their partisan differences and deliver for the people of Virginia.”
“In these polarized times it’s unusual to see majority support for a Governor and his party’s policy proposals in districts represented by the opposite party ” said Director of Public Policy Polling Tom Jensen. “A majority of voters in these districts represented by Republican legislators view  Ralph Northam  favorably — and they show strong support for Democratic policy solutions.”
In November   Northam  won twelve legislative districts currently held by Republican delegates and state senators  along with HD 94 and 28  which are still being contested. The survey found that  Northam   and the Democratic agenda  remain popular with voters in these Republican-leaning districts. 50 percent of voters in these Republican-held districts — which are cumulatively more Republican than Virginia as a whole — view  Northam  favorably  while only 35 percent with an unfavorable opinion of him.
