More Bad Polling News for Rob McKenna
Jay Inslee has been besting Rob McKenna in all the recent head-to-head polling.
But here's some tangential bad news for McKenna: The King 5 poll numbers released this morning on the presidential (non) race in Washington State.
Romney has slipped to a startlingly anemic 26 percent support in the Greater Seattle area (36 percent overall). Wow. That is a truly brutal number, and raises the real possibility that come November Romney won't be able to crack 30 percent in King County.
A Romney collapse in the central Puget Sound -- which will certainly have some downballot consequences -- makes it that much harder for McKenna to get the 40-45 percent support he needs in the state's Democratic heartland to emerge victorious statewide.
