September 10, 2012
Asked if the election were held today, 54 percent of respondents said they would support Obama, compared with 38 percent who said they would vote for Romney.
Just 4 percent of respondents said they were undecided, while another 4 percent said they plan to vote for other candidates.
The new survey shows that Obama has reclaimed some support in Washington state. A KING 5 poll conducted in May showed Obama leading Romney by 14 points, but a July poll showed that lead down to 9 points, with Obama leading 46 percent to 37 percent.
Obama carried Washington state by 17 points in 2008
Women voters are the strongest Obama backers in Washington, with 59 percent saying they support his reelection vs. 33 percent who support Romney. Among men, Obama has 50 percent support compared with 42 percent for Romney.

I love the way it is done here. A click of a button when you get your driver's license and vote by mail.

So anything at the 2008 level is excellent.

No surprise we women are making the difference, we like women leaders here, look at who runs things now...
Only problem I have in our state is with no income tax money is hard to get. I wish we had passed the tax for over 250k only but they managed to scare everyone that we would all pay in time...

(4,551 posts)Here's another link to the poll. Looks like it was a SurveyUSA poll that was done for King 5 News.
Don't think it's on RCP yet for some reason.
