NEWPORT NEWS, Va. A study was done at a local university and it found that Virginia voter are very supportive of Democratic policy proposals.
According to the Wason Center for Civic Leadership at Christopher Newport University, a new survey shows that Virginia voters rate themselves as moderate, and although they lean slightly conservative, they heavily support Democrats proposals.
Michael Pope reports.
In the time he’s been attorney general, Mark Herring has created an office of civil rights. He’s created a conviction integrity unit, and a worker protection unit. His opponent in the primary, Delegate Jay Jones, says the timing of some of that is dubious because it’s so close to an election.
But Quentin Kidd at Christopher Newport University says many of those reforms couldn’t have happened when Republicans were in control of the General Assembly.
“Herring is responding to the times, Kidd says. He’s responding to the things that voters are concerned about, and so it really doesn’t matter, quite frankly I think, to most voters whether Herring should have done this earlier or should have done this in a more focused way at some other time.”
