Continuing an early trend in Washington's 2012 governor's race, a new Elway poll finds Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna with a 9-point lead over Democratic Congressman Jay Inslee.
The poll, conducted last week, found 45 percent of respondents would "definitely" or "probably" vote for McKenna, compared with 36 percent for Inslee.
Pollster Stuart Elway notes one "ominous" sign for Inslee in the poll data: the proportion of voters with a negative impression of him (22 percent) is nearly equal to those with a positive impression (28 percent).
By contrast, McKenna has a 3 to 1 ratio of positive to negative impression among voters surveyed.

Some good news out on the Pacific coast.
The November elections in Washington are going to be a bloodbath for the Dems, after the despicable act they just pulled. Vote them ALL out!!!
20 points is not nearly enough! King County ballot boxes will mysteriously appear late on election night that will just push the vote to the Democrats.
Imagine.

Looks like good news. I pray it holds.
Washington state ping
McKenna is a corrupt SOB. Only slightly less corrupt than Gregoire, with just a few better social and fiscal differences.
Gregoire will do nothing to help Inslee since she owes too many favors to McKenna.
The real reason McKenna did not go after vote fraud in the first Gregoire Rossi race wa because if he had actually done his job, he knew he could never be elected governor.
I sure hope so. But I’ve heard many comments from young people that suggest the homo marriage vote is not a big deal to them and they wonder why it is controversial at all. Very disheartening to those of us who grew up in an era when morality was taught.
Lets hope for the momentum to hold for 8 more months.
“Some good news out on the Pacific coast.”
We’ll see. Republicans always seem to be competitive in WA, right until the votes are cast.
Maybe those stupid mail-in ballots are are the reason?

That’s the point. Kids simply aren’t taught things like being gay is the single biggest health risk a man can take - far worse than smoking.
“Neither was I taught that. I was taught it is WRONG.”
Good point...but some facts can help also.
I’ve read that many voters in Washington state are angry with the legislature now and that some of those angry voters are registered Democrats. Many feel the legislature and Governor overstepped their bounds yesterday and that wasn’t the reason voters voted for them. Any chance it could backfire?
All I can say is if it doesn't we have gone completely over the edge.
I don’t know about “bloodbath,” but the arrogant way that Democrats shoved same-sex “marriage” down the people’s throats will motivate conservatives (and moderates, for that matter) to turn out for Republican candidates that may not generate much excitement by themselves.
Personally, I’m hoping for another New Hampshire-style wipe out.
Exactly. Dino Rossi can tell some war stories on that subject.
