FYI.
Screen shot from natesilver.net showing Trump’s approval and disapproval over this year. The approval starts off higher than the disapproval, but they soon switch places and the gap widens over time, with an accelerated gap in the last month. The last reading shows approval at 42.1% and disapproval at 55.1%. Text: SILVER BULLETIN Do Americans approve or disapprove of Donald Trump? An updating polling average of Donald Trump's approval rating and disapproval rating in his second term, accounting for each poll's quality, recency, sample size, and partisan lean.

Here’s a little video about Cville Dems’ efforts at IX Art Park this election season. That part of the campaign is finished, but we are still hard at work on the 2025 race and we'll be back at IX for the 2026 season!

Yes, the Republicans are trying to make this Attorney General race about a bad joke from “The Office” in a private text exchange. That’s because they can’t come up with a single thing that Jason Miyares has done for Virginians. He has been a disastrous AG. Here are some of the reasons. (1/19)

Lots of people voting today (9/19) on the first day of early voting at 7th St., NE beside the downtown mall! Here’s the Zyahna Bryant campaign, ready to greet you and make their pitch with a smile!

Remember, for all of our campaigns, earlier voting is better. Have a great Friday!

This is the one statewide race for this November that is polling the closest, because Miyares is the only incumbent, and Republicans actually *like* him because of his membership in the Trump cult. Please support Jay Jones for Attorney General!
