Poll Shows Close Race in Virginia’s 2nd District, With Cost of Living a Top Concern

Oklahoma City, OK, October 14, 2026 —

A poll indicates a close race between Democratic former Rep. Elaine Luria and Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District. The cost of living was identified as a top concern among voters, according to the poll summary.

The available information does not include the candidates’ support levels, the size of the gap between them or whether either candidate leads. It also does not identify the pollster, the dates the poll was conducted, the number of people surveyed or the margin of error. Without those details, the closeness of the race cannot be assessed more precisely from the information provided.

The summary likewise does not specify how voters ranked the cost of living relative to other issues, or which expenses respondents had in mind. It identifies the issue as a leading concern but provides no breakdown of responses or explanation of how that concern relates to voters’ candidate preferences.

The findings offer a limited snapshot of the contest and voter concerns in the district. The poll summary does not provide information about other issues raised by respondents, campaign positions or changes in voter sentiment over time. Those details were not provided, so the poll’s broader context and implications remain unclear.

Based on the information available, the main reported points are that the race between Luria and Kiggans is close and that the cost of living is a top voter concern. Further polling details were not provided.
