NEWPORT NEWS, Va. â A newly-released survey from the Wason Center for Civil Leadership at Christopher Newport University showed while Virginia voters ranked themselves as slightly conservative moderates, they mainly supported Democrats when it came to policies about health care, immigration, the environment, and economic fairness.
âThese findings reveal a political danger zone between policy and ideology,â Wason Center Research Director Dr. Rebecca Bromley-Trujillo said. âThat will become a war zone as this yearâs election for governor and House of Delegates tests whether the Democrats moved too far and too fast with a progressive legislative agenda since they won full control two years ago.â
