Wason Poll: Clinton Up 15 Points in Virginia

Is it any wonder there have been rumors that the Trump campaign has forgone the commonwealth?

Today’s Christopher Newport University Wason Center Poll dismisses all doubts:

Democrat Hillary Clinton now holds a 15-point advantage over Republican Donald Trump in Virginia, according to a tracking survey released Sunday by the Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University. Clinton leads Trump among likely voters in Virginia, 44-29 percent.

“It’s crystal clear why the Trump campaign pulled staff out of Virginia this week,” said Dr. Quentin Kidd, Director of the Wason Center. “The Access Hollywood tape, along with Trump’s second debate performance and the turmoil that followed, has fundamentally made Virginia impossible for him to win.”

The survey was conducted Oct. 11-14 among 809 likely Virginia voters, entirely after the release of the 2005 tape and the St. Louis debate. It has an overall margin of error of +/- 3.6 %.

Mr. Trump has long touted how exceptional he does in polling. Today will not be one of those days.
