Virginia Poll Shows Spanberger Approval Drops to 47% as Disapproval Hits 46%
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s approval rating has slipped to 47%, with 46% disapproving, according to a Washington Post–George Mason University poll.
The drop comes just months after her 15-point election win, raising questions about how quickly voter sentiment has shifted.
According to WSET and Reuters reporting, the poll shows one of the weakest early-term approval ratings for a Virginia governor in recent history.
The divide is sharply partisan. Democrats largely support her, while Republicans overwhelmingly disapprove, with independents now split after previously backing her campaign.

Key issues fueling the shift include affordability concerns, immigration policy, and disputes over taxes and redistricting.
At the same time, backlash over data center expansion and economic pressures is adding new political strain, according to recent reporting.
Critics, including a former Biden aide, argue her communication strategy has allowed opponents to define her early.
The numbers don’t show a collapse but they confirm a fast-moving test of her political durability.
