ICYMI: Continuing a trend seen in poll after poll, Governor Glenn Youngkin’s approval rating in Virginia continues to climb.
As Paul Bedard reports for the Washington Examiner, a new VCU poll out this week “found that Youngkin continues to surge in popularity. Since August, VCU said, Youngkin’s approval rating has increased to 54%, up 5 points. Just 31% disapprove of his job performance.”
That is a stark contrast to how Virginians view President Joe Biden.
According to the poll, while Youngkin’s approval rating is climbing, Joe Biden’s is declining:
“Thirty-seven percent of Virginians say that they approve of Joe Biden’s handling of his job as president, with 54% disapproving. This is a two-point drop (down from 39%) compared to his approval rating in the August 2023 Commonwealth Poll,” the survey analysis said.
The poll also found another big problem for Biden. He is underwater with independents, 30% approving and 37% disapproving.
This poll comes following a separate poll released earlier this month that found Youngkin with a record 58% approval rating among Virginians.
