Poll of Virginia Governor’s Race Shows Democrat Northam with an Edge over Republican Gillespie, 47% to 43%

Statement of Methodology

This survey of 500 likely Virginia general-election voters was conducted between October 30 and November 1, 2017, and is based on live telephone interviews of adults who indicated they were very likely to vote in the November 2017 general election for governor. Each area’s quota and demographic information -- including race and age -- was determined from previous like elections and 2010 Census data. Samples of both standard landline and cell phones were called using a probability-proportionate-to-size method, which means that the phone numbers assigned to each county were proportional to the number of likely voters expected based on similar past elections. Virginia's 95 counties and 38 independent cities were grouped into five general regions. Respondents in the household were selected by initially asking for the youngest adult. The margin of sampling error for results based on the total sample is +/-4.4 percentage points. Error margins increase for smaller subgroups in the cross-tabulation document that follows. All surveys may be subject to other sources of error, including but not limited to coverage error and measurement error.

Ralph Northam, Ed Gillespie, Clifford Hyra, Justin Fairfax, Jill Vogel, Mark Herring, John Adams, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Terry McAuliffe, Tim Kaine, Mark Warner, Virginia State Legislature, US Congress, Confederate monuments, oil and gas drilling, minimum wage hike, in-state tuition benefit for undocumented immigrants, 2020 Democratic primaries, 2018 US Senate election
