Source: Kate Magee Joyce/Youngkin for Governor Campaign via AP While Terry McAuliffe, the former governor of Virginia and current Democratic nominee for the 2021 has been typically polling ahead of his Republican opponent, Glenn Youngkin, his lead tends to be slim. A poll released on Wednesday from the University of Mary Washington provides a different narrative, however, in that Youngkin leads McAuliffe when it comes to likely voters.
McAuliffe enjoys support from 43 percent of total respondents and likely voters. While Youngkin, a former Carlyle executive has 38 percent of support from total respondents, that number is at 48 percent among likely voters.
Reporting for Bloomberg, Ryan Teague Beckwith wrote that “Youngkin’s lead is likely due to higher Republican enthusiasm in the contest.”
Former Del. Chris Saxman, who the executive director of Virginia FREE , a non-partisan, pro-business non-profit organization, has been commenting about the enthusiasm issue since months before either candidate won their party’s nomination. At the release of this UMW poll, Saxman told Townhall that this “quantifies it and it qualifies it” when it comes to that enthusiasm.
“The reality’s obvious,” Saxman continued, also noting that “the Democrats are less enthusiastic, their early voting is not going well for them” and that “a lot of Democrats think their party’s gone too far to the left.”
Saxman also reminded that in his primary race, McAuliffe beat younger candidates of color, who are to his left.
The results paint a hopeful picture for other Republican candidates as well.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
