- “Virginians support stricter gun laws.”
- “Large majorities support background checks, limits on those with mental illness and red flag laws.”
- “Smaller majorities were in favor of banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”
- “Fifty-seven percent of Virginians favor banning assault-style weapons, with 47% saying strongly favor; and 56% favor banning high-capacity magazines, with 42% saying strongly favor.”
- “Two-thirds of Virginians believe public schools are underfunded and majorities are willing to pay more for specific improvements.”
- “A majority is supportive of the governor’s proposal to provide tuition-free community college.”
- “Virginians think unions for government workers overall are helpful but oppose public safety personnel going on strike.”
