Political science expert Dr. Stephen Farnsworth of University of Mary Washington said based on polling, it’ still too close to tell which side will win. “Polling shows a margin of a few points and when we’re looking at an election like this in Virginia, so much will come down whether or not people can get their supporters out to participate,” said Farnsworth.
“It seems to me that a strong turnout effort on election day can give either side a win,” said Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington. “The big challenge for both the yes and the no side is to get people who will support them if they turn out to actually do so. I think anybody who is not strongly committed one side or the other is likely to stay home.”
“The pro messaging is very much, ‘Trump started this and Virginia is going to finish it,’” Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington, told WTOP.
“This is an extraordinary amount of money, but it’s not a surprise because the stakes are so high. This could very likely determine which party controls the next Congress,” said Steve Farnsworth, a political scientist at the University of Mary Washington.
“What happens in Virginia may very well shape the outcome for the mid-term elections for Congress and the country as a whole,” said Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington in Virginia.
“In many ways, what happens in Virginia may very well be the deciding factor in terms of which party controls Congress next year,” said Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington. “If the amendment passes, that’s a significant advantage for Democrats going into those November 2026 midterms.”
