Poll: Kamala Harris leads in WA; voters feel a glimmer of optimism [View all]
Vice President Kamala Harris appears to be on track for an easy victory in Washington state. In a new Cascade PBS/Elway poll of registered Washington voters, the Democratic nominee for president led former president Donald Trump 53% to 32%.
Among those voicing their support for Harris, 46% said they would definitely vote for her, with another 7% saying they were inclined, but could change their mind. For Trump, 27% said they were definitely voting for him, with 5% inclined but not committed.
It’s little surprise that Harris is leading in deep-blue Washington. In 2020, Joe Biden took 58% of the vote over Trump’s 39%. In 2016, Hillary Clinton carried the state 53% to Trump’s 37%. One needs to look all the way back to Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election to find a Republican presidential candidate winning Washington.
The latest Cascade PBS/Elway poll was conducted statewide Sept. 3-6 with 403 registered voters. About 23% participated on landlines; 28% by cell phone calls; and 49% participated online after a text message invitation.
