Spanberger Underwater: Negative VCU Poll After 6 Months
Episode notes
Uriah Kiser delivers the hard truth on Governor Abigail Spanberger’s plunging poll numbers in the brand new VCU poll. Just six months into her term, her approval has gone underwater with 44% approving and 47% disapproving, as more Virginians believe the Commonwealth is headed in the wrong direction.
Economic concerns dominate while data center giants grow impatient amid a massive power bottleneck. Despite nearly $2 billion in tax breaks, hundreds of projects face years-long delays for grid connections, driving up costs for everyday Virginians.
From early executive actions limiting ICE cooperation, near-government shutdown budget fights, failed redistricting pushes, to defending Big Tech incentives that strain electricity and water resources—Uriah breaks down the growing discontent across party lines.
This is must-watch Virginia politics analysis for anyone concerned about affordability, energy costs, and state direction. What does this mean heading into the next legislative fights?
