President Biden won independents by 19 pts in 2020, but they are backing the Republican Glenn Youngkin so far, exit poll shows.
What do these Virginia independents look like?
They are a bit older compared to those who voted in 2020, and racially, more of them are White.
And most are not impressed with Mr. Biden at the movement. Six in 10 independents voting in the governor’s race disapprove of the job Mr. Biden is doing as president.
These independents also prioritize the issues of the economy and education – issues that favor Youngkin – over the coronavirus – an issue that favors McAuliffe.
