These are naturally decent numbers for Sanders being tied in VA, and for whatever reason folks seem to forget about an extremely large Asian-American, and Latino-American population within NOVA...
VA will likely be relatively close in the '20 DEM PRIM, and Bernie is doing much better among the Black, Brown, and Asian Minority voters than he did in '16.
Sure White Wealthy folks do their own thang.... Bernie will not rack up margins in the rural White Communities like he did in '16....
Coalitions shift, Coalitions change.... nobody is a hater on either sides of the Democratic Civil War.
Still, the future is coming and many 45+ are worrying, and although they are a fearin' that Trump might be able to close the deal, they are still listening to the Siren songs of their Children and Grandchildren knowin' that a New Earth and a New Future is singing upon the waves....
I agree with you first point about NOVA as it’s extremely diverse in terms of ethnicity and income. Rural VA has a lot of college towns in the mix so I’m not sure. Virginia Tech, UVA, James Madison etc.
A geographic cross tab would be helpful. I’ve lived all over VA as it is my home state yet I moved away Each area is like a different world. It’s an interesting state.
