A new survey shows that Virginians are split on policy and important issues as November approaches. The survey from the Wason Center for Civic Leadership revealed that 42% of residents think the state is heading in the right direction, while 40% think it’s going in the wrong direction.

According to the survey Governor Glenn Youngkin has a 50% approval rating.  Among Republicans, the top issues facing the country are the economy/inflation (53%), immigration (11%), and crime (7%). For Democrats, the top issues are climate change (17%), racial inequality (16%), and abortion (15%).

Virginia registered voters oppose the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade (58% to 36%) and prefer abortion to be legal in most/all cases (67% to 27%), though a narrow majority support/strongly support an abortion ban at 15 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother (51%).
