Former President Donald Trump is now leading President Joe Biden in  Virginia by three points, according to polling results reported on Monday.

For the first time, Biden is trailing Trump by three points in the state, with Trump polling at 39% and Biden polling at 36%, according to the latest VCU/Wilder poll. Virginia has consistently voted for Democratic presidential candidates for two decades, with the last Republican to win the state being former President George W. Bush in 2004.

Biden beat Trump by over 10% in the state in 2020, and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton won the state by 4.9% in 2016.
