Emerson Poll: Dead Heat in Race for Virginia Governor

Via RedState, which recaps the race since McAuliffe's debate declaration that the state and teachers unions, not parents, should decide what children are taught, a new poll from Emerson shows a 49-48 race.

The latest Emerson College/Nexstar Media poll of the Virginia gubernatorial election shows a tightening in the race, with Democrat Terry McAuliffe slightly leading Republican Glenn Youngkin 49% to 48%. One percent of voters plan to vote for someone else, and 2% are still undecided. In September, an Emerson/Nexstar poll showed McAuliffe with a four-point lead over Youngkin (49% to 45%).

...

Those who live in the urban areas of the state are leaning towards McAuliffe (59% to 36%), while rural areas are breaking towards Youngkin (57% to 42%). The suburbs are slightly leaning towards Youngkin (49% to 48%).

All Youngkin needs to do to become governor now is be exposed as having worn blackface multiple times in college, and/or sexually assaulted a woman.
