Poll: Clinton Leads By 14 Points in Virginia

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton leads Republican candidate Donald Trump in Virginia, according to a new poll from The Washington Post.

Clinton is polling well across the state:

• Statewide: 52 percent;
• D.C. suburbs: 68 percent;
• Northern exurbs: 51 percent;
• Southwest: 32 percent;
• Richmond area: 54 percent;
• Tidewater: 60 percent.

Trump, on the other hand, barely polls above 50 percent in any area:

• Statewide: 38 percent;
• D.C. suburbs: 23 percent;
• Northern exurbs: 44 percent;
• Southwest: 58 percent;
• Richmond area: 37 percent;
• Tidewater: 29 percent.

Clinton's 14-point lead shrinks to 7 points when third-party candidates are added. Despite her advantage, she still polls with high unfavorable ratings, but so does Trump.

Clinton is helped by her running-mate, former Virginia Gov. and current Sen. Tim Kaine, who is still well-known and popular in the state, far more so that Trump's choice Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
