Good for Northam, though it's worth noting that 56% of the electorate not being willing to embrace him is not the best sign.
You could say worse about Gillespie and his 61%.
Fair point, but if Virginia is really becoming the next Maryland like Atlas seems to think, the Dem nominee should be polling at 50%+ by now.
I don't think Virginia is there yet. I think the R ceiling has continued to lower slowly over recent years, but the floor hasn't gone out from under them, yet. When it does, that's when VA turns in MD.
