How come there are no new polls from VA?

You know the latest polls we had out of VA showed it slipping into a swing state, but no new polling is coming out of VA.

Seems like it would be getting just as much polling as all the other swing states( weekly or bi-weekly ).

What gives?

I happen to think all state polling has been seriously sparse lately - at a time when we might expect it would be plentiful. With all the massive changes which have occurred in recent weeks, one would think every pollster would be very interested in and busy with state polling.

Someone has to want to pay for the polls.
  1. If the consensus amongst "Team Trump" is that the results of the new polls would be favorable to Mr Trump, you would be seeing new polls paid for and the results of the new polls released.
  2. If the consensus amongst "Team Trump" is that the results of the new polls would be "iffy" but would encourage "Team Harris" to work harder, then "Team Trump" isn't going to want to pay for them or release the results.
  3. If the consensus amongst "Team Trump" is that the results of the new polls would be favorable for Ms Harris, then "Team Trump" isn't going to want to pay for them or release the results.
  4. If the consensus amongst "Team Harris" is that the results of the new polls would be favorable to Mr Trump, then "Team Harris" isn't going to want to pay for them or release the results.
  5. If the consensus amongst "Team Harris" is that the new polls would be "iffy" but would encourage "Team Trump" to try harder, then "Team Harris" isn't going to want to pay for them or release the results.
  6. If the consensus amongst "Team Harris" is that the results of the new polls would be favorable to Ms Harris, you would be seeing new polls paid for and the results of the new polls released.
In short, you aren't seeing any "new polls" conducted and the results because neither "Team Trump" nor "Team Harris" wants to pay for them and release the results.

Sorry that you don't like reality.

Do you honestly believe that people conduct polls for free?

Do you honestly believe that "Team Trump" would release the results of a poll that they paid for if the results of that poll were harmful to Mr Trump's attempts to undo the failure of J6?

So all the polls of all the other swing states are exactly what then?
 
Well, hours after I said swing state polls were rolling out so slowly, a new set came out today. It was missing GA but there was a new GA one from yesterday.

But nothing from VA and it hasn't moved to the "swing state" group. So likely still considered blue.

As far as VA, here is some excellent news. I wish every state would do this and I'm certainly glad to see over 6000 illegals were removed from the rolls. It has been obvious that was going to become a big problem in terms of voter fraud (per the Biden plan). Well, this demonstrates it has.

And right after a new set of swing state polls rolled out yesterday (looking somewhat favorable to Trump), another set rolls out today (looking favorable to Harris).

Still nothing from VA.

Here is a new one, finally. Harris leads by 3.

In this brand new VA poll, Youngkin is doing great! His job approval is 59% and his favorability is 54%. Both of those numbers are his highest ever.
 
This was one question/answer which caught my eye in the internals.
