54% of Virginians approve of Youngkin’s job as governor. That is the highest
approval rating for a Virginia governor in the Post poll in more than a decade.



The Washington Post also confirms what other polls have found – that Governor
Youngkin is far more popular among Virginians than President Joe Biden.



While Virginia Democrats have relied on Joe Biden

as their lead surrogate and for fundraising, Youngkin holds an 11-point lead
over Biden in approval rating among Virginians – 54% for Youngkin compared to
43% for Joe Biden.



Among independents, Youngkin’s advantage is even more pronounced. Youngkin’s
57% approval rating among independent voters in Virginia is more than 20 points
higher than Biden’s meager 36% approval rating.



The reason for Youngkin’s record approval rating is self-evident in the Post
poll. Virginians give Youngkin and Virginia Republicans high marks on the key
issues they have centered their agenda and campaigns around – the economy,
education, and public safety.




ECONOMY



Governor Youngkin and Virginia Republicans have delivered more than $5 billion
in tax relief in less than two years. Over 230,000 more Virginians are working
today compared to when Youngkin took office, and more Virginians are working
than ever before. Youngkin's pro-growth policies have attracted iconic
companies to relocate their businesses and the jobs that come with them to
Virginia.



As a result, Virginians trust Republicans more than Democrats on the economy
by 12 points – 49% to 37%. Among independents, Republicans hold a 27-point lead
– 54% to 27%.




EDUCATION



Governor Youngkin and Virginia Republicans have also made it a priority to put
parents back at the head of the table in their children’s education and
upbringing, with more control for parents over what their kids are learning at
school and more transparency in the classroom. Youngkin has also surged
resources to improve attendance, literacy, and learning in Virginia schools.



Among parents with a child in public school, 51% approve of Youngkin’s
handling of education.




PUBLIC SAFETY



Governor Youngkin and Virginia Republicans have restored support for law
enforcement, with pay raises and the resources they need to keep Virginia safe.
Youngkin’s Operation Bold Blue Line has made significant progress in protecting
our communities from criminals and deadly drugs like fentanyl.



Virginians trust Republicans more than Democrats on crime and public safety by
13 points – 49% to 36%. Among independents, Republicans hold a 30-point lead –
55% to 25%.




The Washington Post poll is the latest indication that Youngkin’s commonsense,
conservative leadership around lowering the cost of living, empowering parents,
and supporting law enforcement is resonating with Virginians.



Youngkin is putting his record approval rating to work for Virginia
Republicans, traveling across the Commonwealth to rally support for House and
Senate candidates in the final weeks of this election.



The closing message is simple: If you want to advance the progress we’ve made
in Virginia over the last two years under Governor Youngkin, then elect leaders
to the General Assembly who will work with him to make Virginia the best place
to live, work, and raise a family.
