CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WOWK) – A new poll is out that shows some interesting items in a couple of big political races in West Virginia. We’re almost 10 months away from the 2024 West Virginia Primary, so a lot could change between now and then.<\/p>\n
It’s a crowded Republican field for those seeking to replace term-limited Gov. Jim Justice.
The new poll, conducted by Orion Strategies for the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, has some interesting results for the governor’s race. <\/p>\n
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is at 31 percent, followed closely by House Judiciary Speakers Moore got it<\/a> to 30% secretary of state Mac Warner<\/a> has 9%, entrepreneur Chris Miller<\/a> at 5%, and State Auditor JB McCuskey at 3%. As always, so far from an election, many things can change and pre-election voting is not over.<\/p>\n \t\tCan you get a DUI while mowing your lawn in West Virginia?\t<\/p>\n “There are still a good number of undecided voters. And there’s one thing you have to remember, the campaigns haven’t started running their ads or spending their money yet. So a lot of it is going to be based on name recognition, at this point, so we plan to continue surveys,” said Brian Dayton of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce poll also shows Governor Justice has a wide lead over Congressman Alex Mooney, 56% to 19%, as they seek the Republican nomination for the US Senate. Congressman Mooney says he doesn’t think the poll is accurate, and a spokesman says, “The race is just beginning.”<\/p>\n Next year’s West Virginia primary will be held on May 14, 2024.<\/p>\n
