Hillary Clinton is running away with Virginia. Here's why that could be the ballgame.

A Washington Post poll released Tuesday finds that Virginia, once seen as a closely divided toss-up state, is shaping up to be solidly blue territory this year — a development that could all but close off Republican nominee Donald Trump's path to the presidency.
In the poll, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton thumped Trump 52% to 38% among registered voters, while she led 51% to 43% among those likeliest to vote in November.
The former secretary of state is propelled in large party by overwhelming support among voters in the Washington suburbs, who backed her 68% to 23%. Obama won those voters by a 26-point margin on his way to a four-point victory in the state four years ago. Clinton also leads Trump in the D.C. exurbs, the Richmond area and the Tidewater region; the Republican leads only in southwest Virginia, a region hard-hit by the decline of the coal industry.
