Virginians slightly leaning 'yes' on redistricting measure ahead of April 21 vote: WaPo/GMU poll [View all]

A slight majority of Virginians appear poised to vote "yes" on the Democrat-led measure to redraw the commonwealth's congressional districts in their favor, according to a poll from The Washington Post and George Mason University.

Democratic leaders say they are trying to counter Republican efforts to paint their maps with more red in states like Texas, Indiana, and North Carolina before the 2026 midterms — where control of the House of Representatives and aspects of President Trump's agenda are both at stake.

If the referendum passes on April 21, Democrats can redraw Virginia's congressional maps to give them an apparent 10-1 advantage, a possible pick-up of five seats. Currently, six Democrats and five Republicans represent the commonwealth in the House.

The GMU/WaPo poll was conducted from March 26 to 31. This poll is based on a total of 1,101 interviews with registered voters in Virginia and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
