Poll Watch: I-933 in big trouble

This is a new poll by the University of Washington. It's been in the news lately, so in case you missed it here is a bit of The Olympian story about it from yesterday. Brad Shannon chose to lead with the the lack of support for I-933, which works for me. Go read the whole article if you wish, there are some more numbers at the bottom.

Survey: Tax repeal, I-933 face defeat
The state's first-ever Washington Poll found that a majority of voters oppose Initiative 933, a land-use measure on the ballot in Tuesday's general election.

The poll shows that a majority also oppose an initiative to repeal the state's estate tax.

Of the three initiatives on the ballot, only I-937, the alternative energy proposal, had the support of a majority of registered voters in the survey.

In other results, voters said they preferred incumbent Democrat U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell over Republican challenger Mike McGavick, but they couldn't quite decide whom to support in the remaining state Supreme Court race.


Of course, the only poll that matters is the one you participate in by casting your ballot. Do it!
