Democratic candidate for Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe is ahead of his opponent, Republican Glenn Youngkin in the latest poll released Thursday morning.

McAuliffe is leading 50% to 41%, according to Christopher Newport University’s Wason Center-AARP poll. About 6% of voters remain undecided two months ahead of the November 2 election. Independent candidate Princess Blanding captured 3% of survey takers.

The former governor and fundraiser has a stronghold with women over Youngkin (55%-36%) and younger voters (52%-34%). Youngkin, a private equity investor, has solid support in the Southern and Southwestern parts of the state (53%-37%) while McAuliffe has more support in the voter-rich urban crescent areas of Northern Virginia (59%-33%), Hampton Roads (52%-41%), and Richmond (48%-40%).

“These numbers reflect a state that continues to trend blue in presidential and statewide elections as demographic shifts endure in the Commonwealth,” says Wason Center Research Director Dr. Rebecca Bromley-Trujillo. “While there is still room for movement in the race, Youngkin has a tightrope to walk between Trump supporters and more moderate voters across the suburbs of Virginia.”

Virginia has trended blue in recent years and Democrats hold control of the Governor’s Mansion, as well as majorities in the House of Delegates and the state Senate.

Down ballot, Democrats also lead in the Lieutenant Governor’s race, with Del. Hala Ayala ahead of former Del. Winsome Sears 52% to 42%.

In the Attorney General race, incumbent Democrat Mark Herring leads Republican Del. Jason Miyares 53% to 41%.

Democrats also lead Republicans in a generic ballot for the House of Delegates, where all 100 seats are up for election. Democrats hold a 7-point advantage (50% to 43%) on the generic ballot test, which asks voters if they will cast their vote for the Republican or Democratic Party’s House of Delegates candidate.

Election season traditionally really kicks into gear after Labor Day. McAuliffe and Youngkin will debate at the Appalachian School of Law on Sept. 16 and at George Mason University on Sept. 28.

The survey reached 800 likely voters via cell phone and landline from August 15-23. The poll has a margin of error of 3.6% with a 95% level of confidence. This means that if 50% of respondents indicate a topline view on an issue, we can be 95% confident that the population’s view on that issue is somewhere between 46.4% and 53.6%.

Last week, two polls showed a tighter race. McAuliffe led Youngkin by just 3 points in a Virginia Commonwealth University poll, and he led by 8 points in a Roanoke College poll.
