Ashley Tackett Laferty just won re-election handily in 2024, Rs always seem incapable of beating her. I have a hard time seeing her in a Toss-Up in a blue wave year

TBH wonder if any of them drop since they know running against her's a suicide mission. Like I think Walz would've drawn a lot of grassroots conservative dollars and attention given his national hatred from conservatives.

Klobuchar isn't beatable, the real challenge is holding her to a win margin of less than 15.

State Navigate turned out to be one of the most accurate pollsters in Virginia in 2025. Here's our analysis for why we beat the rest of the pack.

Prime example of course are the college town seats. For example, they have HD-41 as Trump +4.4. That's inaccurate.

In actuality when using the formula that was applied to the same process for CAPs in 2021 and prior, it was Trump +2.9.

So yeah this is a big difference between our 2024 data and VPAP's. I don't know what their formula was for 2021 but it's probably pretty much the same as ours.

We used the formula for provisionals in 2024 so when you look at @statenavigate.org's data for districts that year it's more accurate.

Seeing that provisionals were allocated was such a pleasant surprise today, doing the formula is a pain for our staff.

Fun story from 2017. When I first met @pwcdanica.bsky.social it was at an event when I was barely 18. I showed her my predictions for the House of Delegates which had her in a Likely D/Solid D race. She disagreed and said she was in a Toss-Up.

She won by 8.

State Navigate Experiment Shows how Pollsters Can Reach Young Voters - State Navigate Cultural competence goes a long way. We knew young voters would come out in Virginia this year, so we made sure we got them to answer our surveys.

As a 26-year-old, I came up with the idea of sending our text messages to 18-29 year olds in lowercase to try to get them to respond to the survey. It worked like a charm.

As a political scientist, so privileged to be working with Michael Foley on our polling.

You can now go to @statenavigate.org and see shifts by precinct district and county in VA from 24 presidential. We have allocated non ED votes via formula where localities haven't allocated yet.
