Poll: Kaine leads GOP challenger by 19 points in Va. Senate race
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) holds a big lead over Republican opponent Corey Stewart, topping him by 19 points in the latest poll released Tuesday.
A poll conducted for University of Mary Washington found Kaine comfortably leading Stewart, 49 to 30 percent, among all respondents. Libertarian candidate Matt Waters garnered 5 percent of the vote.
When polling likely voters, Kaine’s lead slightly narrows to 16 points, with Kaine ahead of Stewart, 52 to 36 percent.
Tuesday’s poll is consistent with other recent polls that show Kaine with a double-digit advantage. A Roanoke College poll from last month similarly found Kaine ahead by 17 points.
