A bit more from the poll's press release https://www.roanoke.edu/news/rc_poll_politics_february_2025

A large portion of Northern Virginia are government employees. Many of which are facing the fact that at least one member of the household either has or will probably losing a job. Throw in the edict that requires federal workers to return to the office full time after a large portion opted to move to areas like Richmond, Charlottesville and their suburbs because housing prices are more friendly to those with families. Throw in those with farms who are seeing subsidies they've counted on for generations threatened to be cut. I think the state also has its share of "halfbacks" retired folks who left NY, Pa, Ohio and such who found that Florida, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina were not what they expected are moving into the state as well. This Falls state election will be interesting, too early to tell and a lot of election fatigue here, but I think there are a significant number of voters who were not thrilled by Youngkin and Earle-Sears is a devout Trumper.

I just wonder if there is another FDR or some unifier out there that can actually put the country back together after everything completely collapses. Just feeling super pessimistic today. But the next in line after Trump doesn't seem much better. And Congress.....

He only touts stuff he's done for Newport News Shipbuilding. Saw a Facebook posting with something about supporting trade schools, apparently he's been doing that for years but very little trickles down to Richmond. I get the feeling he's trying to keep a very low profile. I did message him thru his website, I don't expect a response

Rob Whitman (r) doesn't give a dam. (He knows my mind, never comes to this part of the district)

Take a look at Frump’s body language there. He’s pissed. Expect a late night rant on Truth Social and large tariffs on French Fries. Also Disney will now be forced to close their theme park outside Paris

Wasn't Reagan also the one who said he wanted a government small enough to drown in the bathtub. Under Musk and Trump they're flushing it down the toilet

Another question for our resident Trump Apologists. Since Trump has labeled MSNBC an illegal branch of the Democratic Party, what does that make Fox News? Why shouldn't they be punished as well. If a Democratic President posted the same comments Trump made last night on Truth Social about Fox and OAN, not to mention radio stations owned by Salem and whatever Clear Channel is called these days you guys would be up in arms. What is the difference.

But just tell those whose hopes may have been shutdown by Trump Regime incompetence to just "suck it up and move on" Right MAGAOLIC

One interesting portion

Very revealing thread about the man taking a bulldozer to the country

I'm also asking my Congress Critter (Paid for by Newport News Shipbuilding) for a 5 point bullet summary of what he's done for residents not in that tiny area of his district

This dude is a member of the DOGE Caucus and claims to have no idea. Meanwhile the Caucus Chairperson is hiding out somewhere in the Caribbean, what are we paying THESE guys for? If you want to cut something I’d start with congress critters who haven’t done one thing, let alone five since they were sworn in in January

The quiet part out loud

A couple of lifetimes ago they usually had an audio engineer in the booth. I’m assuming they hired someone local for spring training. Knowing Audicy’s (radio rights holder) cheapness. It’s probably a combination of no one in the booth and relying on some local staff member of the staff to set it once and forget it. Board ops back in Detroit, forget about it

I'm just waiting until they cut his veterans benefits (and they will the rate they're going)

There is "shrinking" government then there's willy nilly cutting things you don't like. The decisions should not be done by one person, who has not been vetted and does not answer to the branch that actually controls the purse strings. Our friend from Indiana has no clue how government works or anything at all about the constitution. Neither do most of the clowns currently in charge of the executive branch
