I hadn’t seen that WA-01 poll, Impy, very interesting. In the jungle primary, Koster is ahead with 46%, with 34% combined for five Democrats, 4% for an independent and 16% undecided. One-on-one against Democrat Darcy Burner (who is well ahead for second place on the poll and thus is likely to go on to the general), Koster leads 48% to 39% with 13% undecided. Pretty good numbers for us. http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=a9366964-0b4e-4f15-9877-6712f41e69fb
But the most interesting aspect to the poll was Koster’s performance among voters aged 18-34. Among likely voters in such age group, Koster leads in the jungle primary with 54%, with a pitiful 13% for the five Democrats combined (probably 14% or 15% due to rounding, but still), 5% for the independent and 27% undecided. And in the general against Burner, he leads Burner among registered voters aged 18-34 by 47%-28%, with 25% undecided; had this been filtered for likely voters, Koster would probably lead 55%-25% or more.
And Romney also leads big among voters aged 18-34, by 55%-36% among registered voters in such age group. Looks like young voters north of Seattle want to give the GOP a chance. If Democrats aren’t panicking already, it is because they aren’t paying attention.
So old people in WA-1 like Obama more than 18-34s? Hmm.
15% of 35-49 year olds voting for “other”, that’s strange and way higher than other age groups. Mid life crisis=vote for Johnson?
They have Romney up by 1 in the district (among REGISTERED voters) this would indicate a POTUS result in WA better than the Bush performance in 2004 when he lost the old 2nd district by 4 (among certain voters ;p).
Dems lead among cell phone responders.
Oh, McKenna is up in the district big, 52-38 of registered voters.
Only bad news is these voters are for gay marriage by 40-37 with a huge undecided.
This is just one poll but very nice.
