Well, it's better than that McAuliffe+1 poll from Emerson, I suppose.
I am still holding out hope that polls are just plain wrong again and the election ends p not very suspenseful with McAuliffe winning at least close to how Northam did. Northam was polling pretty similarly to how McAuliffe is now, after all, and sometimes didn't even lead as consistently in polls. But can we rely on that polling error or similar turnout this year?
I'm not worried about Youngkin winning at all, but I really want a promising margin out of this to ease some of my dread for 2022 and deter a "Dems in disarray" narrative. But if McAuliffe does win by the somewhat meek four points he seems to get the most in polls, I guess he's proven to be a poor campaigner in spite of being a decent governor in his first term.
