Virginia Attorney General Race a Toss-Up as Voters Head to the Polls

Final surveys diverge on the leader, leaving the result too close to call.

Overview

  • An Emerson College/The Hill poll shows Jay Jones at 49% to Jason Miyares’ 47% among likely voters, within the survey’s margin of error.
  • Quantus Insights’ Nov. 3 snap poll finds Jones at 47.4% and Miyares at 46.9%, while The Trafalgar Group reports Miyares narrowly ahead 46.3% to 45.5%.
  • An InsiderAdvantage survey conducted Nov. 2–3 puts Jones up 49% to 47%, underscoring that all late polling indicates a razor-thin contest.
  • Jones publicly apologized during the Oct. 16 debate for 2022 text messages suggesting violence, a controversy that has drawn national attention late in the campaign.
  • Miyares, the Republican incumbent seeking a second term, highlights his public-safety and prosecutorial record as Virginians vote from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.; ballots also include governor, lieutenant governor, and all House of Delegates seats.
