Fund the first Virginia General Election poll!

With the important elections here in the Commonwealth of Virginia this Fall, it's surprising that there has not been any general election polling conducted for hypothetical matchups between the candidates thus far. CNalysis wants to change that!

Once we reach $5,500, we will be able to collaborate with JMC Analytics, a reliable pollster, to ask 7 hypothetical matchup questions. This poll will also include questions about race, age, gender, party ID, and education.

If we can reach our goal by 5/29/21, we will ask these questions:

1. President Biden Approval
2. Governor Northam Approval
3. GOV | Glenn Youngkin vs. Terry McAuliffe
4. LG | Winsome Sears Sears vs. Sam Rasoul
5. LG | Winsome Sears vs. Hala Ayala
6. AG | Jason Miyares vs. Mark Herring
7. AG | Jason Miyares vs. Jay Jones

If we cannot reach the goal by then, we will ask these questions instead:

1. President Biden Approval
2. Governor Northam Approval
3. 2020 Presidential Vote
4. GOV | Glenn Youngkin vs. DEM NOM
5. LG | Winsome Sears Sears vs. DEM NOM
6. AG | Jason Miyares vs. DEM NOM
7. House of Delegates Generic Ballot

At this point 4 years ago, we already had 14 hypothetical matchup polls between Ralph Northam and Ed Gillespie, and 6 hypothetical matchup polls between Tom Perriello and Ed Gillespie. It's worrisome that this far in the race we haven't had any polling: Virginia has the most competitive elections this year and will be the first real test of the Biden presidency.
