Virginia 2025 election poll: Spanberger’s lead lessens, GOP remains competitive

The polling lead for Virginia Democrats ahead of the 2025 statewide elections has narrowed, according to a poll published by Roanoke College last week.
In the governor’s race, Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger is still leading, but by a narrower margin of seven percentage points (46%-39%), according to the Roanoke College poll. So far, no major poll has placed the Republican nominee, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, in the lead for the gubernatorial election.
Roanoke College says 76% of voters are “very” certain regarding their choice for governor, while 21% are “somewhat” certain.
