Ahead of midterms, WA voters say abortion, economy are key issues
Washington voters are heading into the midterm elections with abortion rights, the economy and political polarization at the top of their minds, according to a new Crosscut/Elway poll.
The Sept. 12-15 survey of 403 likely voters shows Democrats maintaining a broad advantage in races for U.S. Congress and the Legislature.
But the numbers have tightened since a similar poll in July, with Republicans gaining some ground as the fall campaign season moves into full swing.
In the new poll, 38% of voters identified themselves as Democrats, compared to 27% who said they were Republicans. That’s a slimmer margin than the July survey, when Democrats led that question 40% to 22%. The Democratic advantage on that question is also below the average since the Obama administration, according to pollster Stuart Elway.
