The Trailer: Republicans didn’t know how to attack Biden. They do now.

McAuliffe’s numbers are positive, but more polarized: 39 percent favorable, 35 percent unfavorable. But by a 12-point margin, voters say they trust the ex-governor over Youngkin to “handle the covid pandemic,” and by a five-point margin, they trust McAuliffe more on “education and schools.” Youngkin has a two-point lead over McAuliffe on handling “jobs and the economy,” but issues like how schools teach about racism, which has galvanized conservative voters, haven’t really changed the electorate. In the two other statewide races, for lieutenant governor and attorney general, Democrats lead within the margin of error and fewer voters are familiar with their choices.
