Virginia's Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger was swept into the governor's mansion on a deep blue wave last November, but has seen her popularity plummet after less than 3 months in office.

Forty-six percent of Virginians disapprove of her job performance, while 47% approve. Compared to Virginia governors from both sides of the aisle since 1994, Spanberger has the highest disapproval rating at this point in her term.

In contrast, predecessor Gov. Glenn Youngkin saw a 54-39 job approval at this point in his term, with the highest favorability going to Democrat Mark Warner – now Virginia’s senior senator – with a 78-20 rating.

Warner’s current counterpart, Sen. Tim Kaine, was at 62-31, GOP Gov. Jim Gilmore III at 63-30, Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell at 59-39 and Democrats Terry McAuliffe and Ralph Northam at 52-30 and 48-37 respectively.

Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signaled his political career may not be over, telling Sean Hannity he still has "more to give" just under three months after leaving office.

"I have more to give. I just do. The one year of campaigning and the four years of running, so five years, went by in five seconds. It was amazing," Youngkin said on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast.

In the full episode, debuting Tuesday, Youngkin sat down with the Fox News host to discuss his time in office, as well as what things have been like since his term expired in January.

"Former Virginia Gov Glenn Youngkin hints at political future, says he's 'chomping at the bit' after exit"

The guy was a "one-election-wonder".

I doubt he's gonna gain any real political traction again...
