Washington State Prefers Hillary in 2008
August 29, 2007
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - A majority of voters in the Evergreen State would support Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 United States presidential election, according to a poll by SurveyUSA released by KING-TV. At least 55 per cent of respondents in Washington would back the New York senator in head-to-head contests against three prospective Republican candidates.
Rodham Clinton holds a 15-point lead over former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, a 19-point advantage over actor and former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson, and a 21-point lead over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
In 2004, Democrat John Kerry won Washington’s 11 electoral votes, with 53 per cent of the vote. The last Republican to carry the Evergreen State in a U.S. presidential election was Ronald Reagan in 1984.
