NORFOLK, Va. — A little more than two weeks before Election Day, one of Virginia’s most closely watched races is in a deadlock.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria and Republican challenger Jen Kiggans are tied among likely voters at 45%, with 8% undecided in the 2nd Congressional District race, according to a poll released Friday by Christopher Newport University’s Wason Center for Civic Leadership.
The university polled 820 people from Oct. 12-18. Of those, Democrats and Republicans were split 30% to 30%. Another 35% said they were independent voters, and the remaining 5% said they had no preference or support an unlisted party.
