Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger leads Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears 52%-43% in Virginia governor race, while lieutenant governor and attorney general contests remain tight.

Virginia voters will soon head to the polls to choose the state’s next top leaders in the high-stakes 2025 general election, set for Tuesday, Nov. 4. Here’s what you need to know before Election Day from where to vote to when polls open and close.

Democrat Abigail Spanberger holds a 7-point lead over Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears in Virginia’s 2025 governor’s race, according to a new Commonwealth Poll released Wednesday by the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University.

A new poll from Virginia Commonwealth University released Tuesday shows margins in the state’s governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general races two weeks out from Election Day.

Former Gov. Wilder calls new VCU poll a “wake-up call” as Democrats’ leads shrink in key 2025 races, with GOP gains in governor and attorney general contests.

Ms Spanberger has embraced her inner wonk on the campaign trail and, if the polls are accurate, it seems to be working. A former narcotics cop and CIA officer, she now leads Winsome Earle-Sears, the state’s Republican lieutenant-governor, by around nine points in polling averages. Her stump speech is about Virginia’s economy.

Four new Virginia polls show Abigail Spanberger leading for governor, while Jason Miyares and Jay Jones remain locked in a dead heat for attorney general.

We are just two weeks out from Election Day in Virginia and a new university poll says voters are paying attention to these statewide races, especially the showdown for the state’s next governor.
