Missouri: Sec of State Jay Ashcroft Leading Open MO Gov Race: The Remington Research Group, the usual pollster for the Missouri Scout political blog, went into the field to test the open Republican gubernatorial primary to be decided in early August. The survey (1/17-18; 806 MO likely Republican primary voters; interactive voice response system) sees Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft (R), son of former Missouri Senator and US Attorney General John Ashcroft, leading the field for the GOP nomination.
According to the Remington results, Mr. Ashcroft posts a 34-20-4% advantage over Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe, and state Sen. Bill Eigel (R-Weldon Spring), respectively. The eventual Republican nominee will be a clear favorite to win the general election. Gov. Mike Parson (R) is ineligible to seek a third term. Virginia: Rep. Spanberger Opens With Big Lead for ‘25: Though the next open Virginia Governor’s race isn’t until November of 2025, candidates are already building war chests and developing campaign strategies to succeed Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) who is ineligible to seek a second term. As a result of the early activity, Christopher Newport University included a Democratic primary question on their latest statewide survey (1/11-17; 1,000 VA registered voters; live interview). The results project US Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Glen Allen) opening with a big lead over Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney. On the ballot test, Rep. Spanberger posts a 52-8% advantage and already leads Mr. Stoney in fundraising $3.6 million to $750,000. While the Congresswoman is off to a fast start, many months remain before this primary and general election are decided. Comments are closed.
