Roanoke College Poll looks at Youngkin approval, Supreme Court favorability, and more
Roanoke College polled Virginians on a plethora of prominent issues currently in the public discourse. Specifically and most interestingly, they asked respondents who they would vote for in a presidential primary between Governor Glenn Youngkin and Donald Trump.
The Institute for Policy and Opinion Research (IPOR) at Roanoke College interviewed 640 adult residents of Virginia between Aug. 7 and Aug. 16 in the latest Roanoke College Poll addressing topics such as the war in Ukraine, abortion, Youngkin’s approval rating, and general feelings about current and former elected officials.
“The main ‘good news’ in this poll is that sentiment toward government officials and their job approval is up,” says Dr. David Taylor, director of IPOR and the Roanoke College Poll. “The country may now be moving in a more positive direction based on what respondents say even though people are still not happy.”
