A new poll has found that the majority of Virginia voters, including Democrats and women, believe that pornographic actress and Virginia gubernatorial candidate Susanna Gibson should drop out of the race.
After Gibson’s pornographic Chaturbate account was revealed, 56% of surveyed voters in the state said the Democrat should drop out of the race, while 30% thought she should remain, according to the poll by Founders Insight and co/efficient, which was shared exclusively with The Daily Wire. Among Democrats, 44% said Gibson should drop out, compared to 39% who said she should continue her campaign.
Women were significantly more likely than men to think she should drop out, with 60% of women saying she should quit.
Another group that Democrats bank firmly on, black voters, felt strongly that she must leave the race, with 62% saying she should drop out and only 18% saying she should stay in. And young people were not as open to the idea of a porn star as a candidate as Democrats might have hoped: 18 to 34-year-olds thought she should drop out by a 50%-40% margin, an even more negative view of the scandal than 35 to 44-year-olds.
The poll surveyed 894 people between September 14 and September 18 and asked: “Recently, the Washington Post covered a story about a female candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates of live-streamed having sex with her husband while asking for money to perform other sex acts. Do you believe this disqualifies the candidate from running for office?”
The story was broken by The Washington Post and covered by nearly all national outlets, but the local paper has largely looked the other way. Gibson has gone into hiding after the scandal, despite being hours from early voting beginning in a swing district where the partisan control of the entire House of Delegates could be in play.
