'Voter's remorse': Illegal immigration crime, gerrymandering, and tax hikes in Spanberger's Virginia

- 'Voter's remorse': Illegal immigration crime, gerrymandering, and tax hikes in Spanberger's Virginia
- Date posted
- 5 hours ago
- Description
- Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) has the worst approval rating of any Virginia governor in decades only two months in office. This comes as several illegal immigrants have been charged with murder and other crimes, her party is proposing a number of tax hikes, and Spanberger has thrown her support behind a Democrat-friendly redistricting effort that would effectively deny representation in Congress to GOP voters in rural Virginia.
Spanberger has only a 47% approval for her performance, according to a Washington Post–Schar School poll published last week. This is 13 points below the previous Virginia governor, Republican Glenn Youngkin.
0:00 Worst approval rating
0:56 Out-of-control illegal immigration and crime
2:16 'Eye for an eye' gerrymandering
4:11 'Affordability' means a 'mixed bag' of tax proposals
