Summary

This special topic poll covered Virginia's race for governor. Respondents were asked whether they followed the race closely and whom they would vote for, George F. Allen or Mary Sue Terry. Qualities and qualifications for both gubernatorial candidates were covered in detail. The elections for lieutenant governor between Michael P. Farris and Donald S. Beyer and for attorney general between James S. Gilmore and William D. Dolan were also addressed. Those queried were asked to identify the biggest problem facing the state of Virginia and to comment on how important specific issues, such as strengthening the state's economy, gun control, improving transportation and roads, abortion, improving public education, and holding down taxes, were in determining the elections. Demographic background variables include political orientation, sex, age, race, income, and education.
