‘Bad Start!’ Karl Rove Nukes Democratic Governor for Quickly Blowing Landslide Victory 09.04.2026

Yahoo

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's net approval rating has plummeted to a mere one point above water, a stark contrast to her landslide victory last fall. Political analysts Karl Rove and Larry Sabato express surprise at this rapid decline, attributing it to Spanberger's perceived shift from a centrist campaign platform to governing as an "extreme liberal." A key example cited is her attempt to redraw the state's congressional districts, aiming to transform the delegation from six Democrats and five Republicans to ten Democrats and one Republican, a move that contradicts her campaign promises and has reportedly alienated voters. This rapid drop in popularity marks one of the worst starts for a Virginia governor in recent history.
