Key Facts

• October 15, 2021 / 9:05 PM / CBS News Henrico, VA — First lady Jill Biden hit the campaign trail on Friday for Virginia Democrat Terry McAuliffe, whose race for governor against Republican Glenn Youngkin appears tight with less than three weeks until Election Day.

• But Youngkin, a former business executive, led McAuliffe in CBS News polling among voters who said the state's economy is a major factor in their vote, and when asked which candidate's policies would create more jobs in the states.
• He campaigned for McAuliffe in July, but his approval rating has taken a hit in recent months amid a series of crises and a surge in COVID-19 cases due to the Delta variant.
