Title: Interesting Polling Results
Post by: Chosen Daughter on August 22, 2016, 03:40:17 am
 I found this polling site that you can include third part candidates.  The polling information is very interesting.  For instance Washington State which usually goes Democratic is polling 43% Hillary, 24% Trump and a whopping 33% other.

I hear it all the time here in Washington.  Democrats are no more satisfied with their candidate than we are with ours.

That's still a 19 percentage point edge for Clinton over Orange Julius.  All it takes is 1 vote more to win.

Don't know what part of WA you live, but here in my part of Western WA I do not see  Hillary or Trump bumper stickers. However Democrats in the area are still driving around with faded Obama/Biden stickers. There was far more enthusiasm for Hillary when she was running in 2008.   Hillary will still win the state, but I think  hers and Trumps numbers will be noticeably smaller than the results from 2008 & 2012

A little perspective.  WA State Election results. Both cases counties east of the cascade mountains voted Republican, west of the cascades Democrat.

2008
Obama  51.34%
McCAIN  40.26

2012
Obama  56%
Romney  41.29%

Yeah it will go to Hillary of course but they are not enthused.  I agree I haven't seen many Trump or Hillary bumper stickers.  I am Western Washington also.  I just thought that was funny that we had such a large other category.

Washington has gone Democratic for a long time.  We can't even get rid of Patty Murray.

Kind of sad what's happened to Washington and Oregon since the 1980s.  Both were swing states before they were irreversibly infested with migrants from California.  When I was assigned with the Air Force in Spokane in the late 1970s, the Inland Empire region rivaled Idaho in its rock-ribbed conservatism, and went very strongly for Reagan in 1980 and 1984.
