Poll: Clinton, Trump tied in Virginia

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton are locked in a tie in the battleground state of Virginia, according to a survey released Monday.

A new Roanoke College poll found Trump and Clinton each taking 38 percent support in the commonwealth. Eleven percent of voters said they were undecided and 11 percent said they’d vote for someone else, although the poll did not test a third-party candidate.

Only 30 percent of Virginians say they have a favorable view of Clinton, with 50 percent saying they view her unfavorably.

Those numbers are worse for Trump, who is at 23 percent positive and 56 percent negative.

Thirty percent said they’d be “disgusted” if Trump or Clinton were elected president. Twenty-nine percent said they’d be satisfied; 19 percent said they’d be unhappy; and only 17 percent said they’d be proud.

While there are only 13 electoral votes up for grabs in Virginia, the state will be hotly contested over the course of the campaign season. It’s one of several swing states up for grabs that could determine the outcome of the election.

Virginia went for the GOP presidential candidate in every election from 1968 to 2004. President Obama narrowly won the state in 2008 and 2012.

The Roanoke College poll of 610 likely voters in Virginia was conducted between May 9 and May 17 and has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
