This is not adding up the way Terry McAuliffe thought it would.
In Northern Virginia - the 8th, 10th and 11th congressional districts, which include large swaths of Fairfax County, Alexandria, Arlington and Loudoun counties - McAuliffe leads, 64-36.
Last November, Fairfax went 70 percent for Joe Biden, Alexandria and Arlington went 80 percent and Loudoun 61 percent.
The poll found 22 percent said Biden's endorsement made them more likely to vote for McAuliffe, but 39 percent said it made it less likely.
Hispanic voters actually have broken 55-45 for Youngkin, and although the Emerson poll showed a 72-25 percent edge for McAuliffe among Black voters, Youngkin just became the first Republican gubernatorial candidate ever to earn the endorsement of the Hampton Roads Black Caucus.
The non-partisan group, whose mission is to "Increase representation of local elected officials who advocate and support legislation to enhance community," endorsed McAuliffe in 2013 and current Gov. Ralph Northam in 2017.McAuliffe's remarks that parents shouldn't be involved in planning curriculum do not match voters' expectations either.
The Emerson poll found voters favored McAuliffe to best handle covid by only 51-48, and a Roanoke College poll found 42 percent of Virginia voters thought the pandemic had been overhyped, and only 38 percent disagreed.
