A shocking statewide poll from Trafalgar Group produced a brutal result for Jay Jones, the Democratic Party nominee for attorney general who has been reeling from a massive scandal following the emergence of disturbing text messages he sent to a colleague during his time in the Virginia House of Delegates. The poll also measured a razor close race in the state’s gubernatorial election.
When asked who they would vote for if the election were held tomorrow, 48.9 percent of likely voters indicated that they would vote for incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares, a Republican. Just 43.1 percent expressed support for Jones, who enjoyed a lead in polling averages before the scandal threw his campaign into disarray.
A sizable number of respondents, eight percent, remain undecided, Trafalgar found.
In 2022 text messages to a colleague, Jones stated that he wanted to put “two bullets” in the head of then-Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert. He then doubled down and threatened Gilbert’s wife and children over the phone, according to a report from the National Review.
“I’ve told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy,” the Democrat nominee told Republican House Delegate Carrie Coyner. Jones then directed his violent rhetoric towards Gilbert’s children. “I mean do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil? And that they’re breeding little fascists? Yes,” he went on.
