New Poll: In Virginia’s 2nd District, Luria Leads Kiggans by 3 Points
The Wason Center survey shows cost of living as the top issue, while Trump’s approval is underwater and 19% of respondents already voted.
- A new Wason Center poll released Wednesday shows Democrat Elaine Luria at 46% and Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans at 43% in Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, a three-point lead within the survey's 4% margin of error.
- This contest is a rematch of the 2022 election, when Kiggans unseated Luria by 3 points; when the Wason Center surveyed the race four years ago, the candidates were tied before Kiggans eventually won.
- Voters identified cost of living as their top concern, followed by threats to democracy and immigration, while Luria led Kiggans on 10 of the 12 issues surveyed when asked which candidate they trusted more.
- According to the Virginia Public Access Project, 54,203 early votes were cast in the district as of Wednesday morning, including 33,792 in person and 20,411 mail ballots.
- Both parties are closely watching the 2nd District, as results could help determine which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives, and experts view this competitive race as a bellwether for state and national voting.
