Will There Be a 'Trump Effect' In Next Month's Elections?

October 18, 2017 at 9:54 am EDTBy Taegan Goddard0 Comments

Two new polls from in New Jersey and Virginia show a significant segment of likely voters say President Trump is a factor in their choice for governor.

Many voters say they plan to send a message of disapproval to Trump and the Republican controlled Congress in their choice next month.

In New Jersey, Trump’s approval is just 31%. The survey found that 25% of voters say Trump is a factor in their vote for governor, and 18% say he is a “major factor.” The polling average shows Phil Murphy (D) leading Kim Guadagno (R) by 17%.

In Virginia, Trump’s approval is just 33%. The survey found that 32% of likely voters say Trump is a factor in their vote for governor, and 20% say he is a “major factor.” The polling average shows Ralph Northam (D) leading Ed Gillespie (R) by 4%.
