Democrat Northam has seven-point edge over Republican Gillespie in Virginia gubernatorial race

Virginia voters give Ralph Northam better personal ratings and prefer him on the issues — and that puts the Democrat ahead of Republican Ed Gillespie in the governor’s race.

Northam is up seven points over Gillespie among Virginia likely voters (49 percent vs. 42 percent) in the latest Fox News Poll. His lead is right at the poll’s margin of sampling error (± 3.5 percentage points). CONT.
