The good Democrats - and there are some - will find it hard to rise above all the crazies in the state and local elections next year.

Absolutely nailed it.

Younkin's education team put together history standards that downplay slavery as the cause of the Civil War, call American Indians "immigrants" and generally doesn't teach history.

Back to the War of Northern Aggression?

Perhaps they wish to emphasize the Europe tariffs on cotton in retaliation for tariffs on Europe's manufactured goods.

That was August. Last month it was 50%. https://cardinalnews.org/2022/10/12/youngkin-approval-rating-rises-almost-10-cnu-poll-finds/

Two different polls, two different pollsters and he’s over 50% in both? Sounds like he’s doing pretty well.

Interesting. It was good that the article gave quite a lot of information about the Youngkin poll.

It does, however, make me wonder about the generalizability of their findings. How many people, in the age of caller ID, are willing to answer phone calls from unfamiliar numbers AND participate in a survey? And are these people similar to people who don’t do this to be representative of whatever population they’re purported to represent?

LOL. Why if you’re so worried about the quality of the polling methodology why don’t you write the pollsters.

It’s a perfectly valid poll and you have no reason to question it.

+1
No doubt the PP is one of the DCUMers who frantically posts polls showing Joe Biden's "improvement". Polls seem to really matter to this lot - when they fit their narrative.

I think all polls are crap. Does anyone under 75 actually answer?

It must have been some magical sorcery then that the mid-term election polls were extremely accurate.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, but it’s wrong. What you are engaging in is wishful thinking because you don’t like the truth.

Is it just Trump politics?

It’s Christian Nationalism politics— the core and soul of current GOP.
Desire to go back/retain a state of things where conservative Christian culture is default and everyone else is, at best, a tolerated guest and, at worst, excluded from society.

Oh yikes! Thank you for filling me in.

No. Not this. Google Loudon County school board. Turns out parents don't like their daughters getting raped in schools and then getting garlic. And yes, that is plural on daughters. Parents also don't want porn in school libraries.
