'It's down to turnout.'

In a private virtual call with supporters earlier this month, McAuliffe acknowledged that Biden's flailing numbers aren't helping. He spoke of how "headwinds from Washington" were hurting his campaign.

But Suhay said the former governor's problems are related to a deflation among Democratic voters, who she said are exhausted with the past year of American politics. "Big chunks of the Democratic Party are not motivated, and I don't think that Democrats in Virginia really understand the gravity of what will happen if Youngkin gets in."

The USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll, which has a 4.4% margin of error, shows a significant chunk of Virginia voters are overwhelmingly pessimistic about the country's direction.Democrat Mari Bonomi, 77, a retiree who lives in Kilmarnock, Va., said the direction of the country shouldn't be laid totally at Biden's feet with just nine months in office.Those same voters who were surveyed have a more optimistic view of their state compared with the rest of the country, however.

Youngkin's school warnings intensify the GOP's suburban pushGlenn Youngkin wants voters in Virginia to hear an urgent message: Your children are in danger. In a speech in Northern Virginia's suburbs last week, the Republican candidate for governor highlighted the murky case of a student who allegedly committed sex crimes in two area schools. “What other tragedy awaits Virginia’s children?” an atypically grim-faced Youngkin asked from the podium, flanked by a collection of parents and schoolchildren. I worry every day when my kids go to VA public schools...that they will be shot. We already missed a day of school due to a gun threat, & there are a lot more shootings than teens who sexually assault others in the bathroom. Yeah their children are in danger from left wingers being slaves to the FederalReserve.
