Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield.
And while a slightly smaller percentage say they favor Democratic candidate for attorney general Jay Jones, the former state delegate from Norfolk still leads Attorney General Jason Miyares, a Republican who is seeking reelection, by a margin well outside the poll’s margin of error.
