This Washington

Poll: Kucinich Shouldn't Run Here

By Josh Feit May 25, 2011

Public Policy Polling has posted a poll that shows Washington Democrats don't like the idea of U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) running here.
Washingtonians are not any more favorable to the idea of current Ohio Rep. Dennis  Kucinich setting up shop in the state’s new congressional district in the event he is  redistricted out of his.  Only 12% think Kucinich should run for office in Washington next year, while 39% think he should not.  Perhaps because most voters (53%) are not familiar with him, independents (8-46) are even more against the idea than Republicans (6-38), but even Democrats (22-35) are not very high on the idea of Kucinich moving to the state and running for office.

Some other details from the poll: 58 percent to 32 percent say Dino Rossi should not run for office again; 46 to 44 say gay marriage should be legal; 47 to 46 percent oppose President Obama's health care law.

Details of the poll, which surveyed 1,098 Washington voters between May 12 and 15, here.
