“Thirty-five percent of Virginia voters said the economy and jobs was the most important issue facing the state, while 17% named COVID-19 and 15% chose education. Health care, climate change, racism, immigration, abortion and law enforcement were all lower. Voters who ranked the economy and education as the top issues were more likely to back Youngkin over McAuliffe.”
