ROANOKE, Va. – If the election were held today, Joe Biden would claim Virginia’s 13 electoral college votes.
That’s according to a Roanoke College poll published Wednesday, which states the former vice president holds a 14-point lead over President Donald Trump among likely voters in Virginia.
Among those polled, only 5% said they were undecided about their candidate.
While Biden leads in Virginia as a whole, when taking a regional look at the state, not everyone is backing the Biden/Harris ticket.
