CNU poll: Virginians would approve redistricting amendment, 51% to 43%

A new poll from Christopher Newport University, released Tuesday, finds that 51% of registered voters surveyed support a mid-cycle redistricting, while 43% oppose. That’s where the poll found 51% in favor of that new amendment, 43% against. The second should be aimed at those independents who say they like the current method, yet support temporarily changing it: 51% of independents support the new amendment, 44% oppose. We see this trend across the CNU poll, with independents turning against Republicans, or Republican positions, in growing numbers. The CNU poll found far fewer people identified as Republicans and more aligned with Democrats.
