Virginia poll: Gov. Ralph Northam ‘weak,’ but safe

 | February 20, 2019 08:28 AM



The latest poll on the triple scandals rocking Virginia Democratic politics finds that while Gov. Ralph Northam’s approval is weak, the state is not demanding his resignation despite calls for him to quit from many officials including former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

The University of Virginia Center for Politics/Ipsos poll of Virginia adults also shows that Attorney General Mark Herring is on stable ground in the state, but pressure to resign is still strong on Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax.

Northam and Herring are involved in a blackface scandal dating to their college years. Fairfax has been accused of sexual harassment.

While only 17 percent of Virginia adults said that they approved of Northam’s job performance since the scandal broke, just 31 percent said he should resign. Another 43 percent said he shouldn’t.

He and his alleged sexual assaults sure dropped off the radar quickly. Time for another "outrage of the week" to take over the news cycle.

What struck me in our poll with Ipsos was that Northam has taken a big hit in job approval at the same time as the public pulls back from wanting Northam to resign. Fairfax's troubles--which are severe--explain much of this. He's in no position to succeed Northam.

New Ipsos/Center for Politics poll of Virginia: Northam approval weak but Virginians not demanding resignation; belief that Fairfax should resign stronger but still mixed; public not supportive of impeaching either http://icont.ac/4e91J

Another example of a dim suriving a PC SNAFU, while 95% of Republicans would have been railed out.  The next time I hear some dim say that the msm doesn't control the narrative ..............

He's safe because the GOP in Virginia is practically non-existent.
