Thanks to his handling of the coronavirus in the state -and I am sure it doesn't hurt that he is a doctor too:

Poll: Northam's approval rating soars during crisis; Biden leads Trump in Va.

A new Roanoke College Poll finds Virginians’ job approval for Gov. Ralph Northam has soared 19 points to 59% since February, as more than half of respondents think Virginia is headed in the right direction.

Northam was viewed favorably by 46% of those polled, the highest since he’s been in office, up from 27% in February. The percentage who view the governor unfavorably dropped slightly from February, to 31%.

“While the coronavirus is certainly negative for people, it has been a boon for perceptions of Gov. Northam,” said Harry Wilson, director of the Roanoke College Poll. “His job rating and favorable views are not only at all-time highs, but they shattered those previous records.”

He's definitely one of my least favorite of the Democratic governors. But yes, the virus has generally given a boost to politicians' approval ratings, if they handle it properly.
