    TO: Northam for Governor


    FROM: Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group
    DATE: May 18, 2017
    RE: Northam leads 50% to 33% in this weeks Dem Primary poll
    From May 15 to 17, 2017, Garin-Hart-Yang conducted a survey among a sample of
    601 likely Virginia Democratic primary voters. The survey was conducted from a
    list of registered Virginia voters who have voted in at least one of the following
    statewide Democratic primaries: 2016 presidential, 2009 or 2013 gubernatorial.
    One-fourth of our sample is comprised of voters who did not vote in 2009 or 2013
    aka new voters.

    Our survey shows LG Northam maintaining a strong lead over Tom Perriello: 50%
    Northam, 33% Perriello, 17% undecided. The depth of the LGs electoral support is
    impressive; he holds strong double-digit leads among whites and African
    Americans, he is ahead by 14 points among men and 20 points among women, and
    he leads in the vote-rich DC media market by nearly two to one. The LG even runs
    strong among Sanders voters (33% Northam, 44% Perriello) and the race is within
    the margin of error among new voters (35% Northam, 39% Perriello).

    The DEPTH of the LGs support is impressive as well. Two-thirds (66%) of Northam
    voters say they support him strongly, while barely a majority (52%) of Perriello
    voters express the same level of committed support. And among the 60% of
    primary voters who tell us they are highly interested and engaged in the race,
    Northam leads by an overwhelming margin (55% to 31%).

    Several survey findings help illustrate WHY the LG has a strong standing among
    Virginia Democrats. He leads Perriello on a number of key attributes and traits,
    such as: having strong leadership qualities (34% Northam better, 16% Perriello),
    having a proven record of delivering progressive results (35% to 20%), and he
    leads Perriello by six points when it comes to standing up to Donald Trumps
    divisive and hateful agenda.

    In summary, while primaries inherently are unpredictable and fluid, our polling
    shows that Ralph Northams proven record of standing up for and winning
    progressive fights has resonated with the Virginia electorate, and that he maintains
    the momentum as we enter the final month before the June 13th primary.
