About this Poll
The results of this poll are based on 947 interviews of registered Virginia voters, of which 812 were determined to be likely voters in the upcoming November election (registered voters who have voted in recent statewide elections, who also say they are thinking about the upcoming election, are following news about the campaigns, and will
definitely or probably vote in the upcoming elections), including 397 on landline and 415 on cell phone, conducted October 20-25, 2017. Percentages may not equal 100 due to rounding. The margin of error for the likely voter model is +/ - 3.8 % at the 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 46.2% and 53.8%.
