According to a new Fox News survey of Virginia registered voters, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are tied for control of the Old Dominion State.

In the head-to-head contest, Trump and Biden tied at 48 percent.

Biden won Virginia in 2020 by 10 points.

Per Fox News:

While Biden leads among Black voters, it is nowhere near where he was in 2020 – according to the Fox News Voter Analysis. In 2020, Biden won Blacks by 81 points, compared to 48 points in the new survey. Trump nearly triples his share among Black voters: 9% in 2020 to 25% today.

Trump’s support comes from White evangelical Christians (80%), rural voters (63%), voters without a college degree (56%), and White voters (54%).

There is no age gap, as voters under 30 (48% each) and those 65 and over (48% each) split their support.

Independents are also torn (45% Biden, 43% Trump).

The gender divide is small but still evident, as men are more likely to go for Trump (+5), while the opposite is true among women (Biden +6).

A potential five-way race is tight in Virginia as well, with Biden edging out Trump by just 1 point, 42%-41%, followed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 9%, Cornel West 2%, and Jill Stein 2%.

As of now, none of the third-party candidates asked in the survey are on the ballot in Virginia.

While Trump (10%) loses slightly more support to Kennedy than Biden (7%) when the race expands, it levels out because Biden loses more support to West and Stein (6%) than Trump (3%).

Republicans haven’t taken Virginia in the presidential election since 2004.
