Poll Shows Elaine Luria Three Points Ahead of Jen Kiggans in Virginia District

Norfolk Portsmouth Newport News, VA, October 14, 2026 —

A poll from The Wason Center at Christopher Newport University shows Democrat Elaine Luria leading Republican Congresswoman Jen Kiggans by three percentage points in Virginia’s second congressional district.

The contest is characterized as tight and as a key race in the fight for control of the House of Representatives. The poll’s reported lead places Luria ahead of Kiggans, but the information provided does not include either candidate’s share of support or the number of people surveyed.

The poll’s release date, field dates, methodology and margin of error were not provided. Without those details, the reported three-point difference cannot be assessed in relation to the poll’s stated uncertainty or timing. The available information also does not say whether the poll measured likely voters, registered voters or another group.

No further results, including respondents’ views on issues or the balance of support among other candidates, were provided. The poll summary does not describe changes from earlier measurements or explain what may be influencing the race.

The result offers a snapshot of the contest as described by the poll, while leaving key information about how the survey was conducted unavailable. The Wason Center’s finding is that Luria leads Kiggans by three percentage points; the supplied details do not establish how that margin compares with other polling or how the race may develop.
