“...the latest poll from The Judy Ford Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University.”
Who? Never heard of them. Has anyone else? Do they have a worthy track record in polling?
“Or were new voters in 2017.” That sounds real accurate.
I live in Brat’s district, I am seeing a lot of Brat signs go up in the last two weeks. I think Brat wins by 3-5 percent on election day.
Christopher Newport University has been doing political polling for VA races for years but I've never heard of the Judy Ford Wason group. Ever.
CNU's polling is about as biased as every other outfit out there. BUT...I was in the Richmond area most of last week and heard a bunch of Spanberger ads. They were very, very good. She comes across as a middle of the road, sympathetic patriot. Brat needs a big turnout.
CNU is another leftist university and I doubt the Center used good statistics to create the poll.
Do they have a worthy track record in polling?

Sounds like a class project at the university.
Now that doesn’t make them right/wrong.

CNU (among the university polls in Virginia) consistently over-samples Democrats, with predictable results. Historicaly, the Hampton University poll has been the most reliable, although they really blew it on the governor’s race last year, showing Ed Gillespie with a significant lead only two weeks before the election. He lost to Democrat Ralph Northam in a blowout.
