Here are some of the key takeaways with final numbers released Wednesday from AP VoteCast, a survey taken from Oct. 27 through Election Day of 2,655 registered voters.

A Youngkin Coalition

College-educated white men, people from small towns and rural areas and older voters made up key parts of Mr. Youngkin’s winning coalition. Notably, Mr. Youngkin had a slight edge with college-educated white voters, a group that favored Mr. Biden by 11 percentage points in last year’s VoteCast survey.

Overall, Mr. Youngkin won among white voters in the state by a much higher spread than Mr. Trump’s six-point margin with that group last year. The survey also suggests that Latino voters favored Mr. Youngkin over Mr. McAuliffe, though the sample size of the group was much smaller than for white and Black voters.

More than a third of Virginia voters said the economy and jobs were the most important issues in the state as the U.S. faces higher inflation and employers are fiercely competing for workers in a tight job market.

Notably, the Covid-19 pandemic, which was the top issue in the state in the 2020 election survey, was second. Education, which Mr. Youngkin put at the center of his campaign in the final weeks leading up to Election Day, was third, topping healthcare.
