WA Voters Unhappy With Trump, New Poll Shows

PUYALLUP, WA - A poll released Wednesday shows that many Washington state voters aren't happy with President Donald Trump so far. The nonpartisan Elway Poll interviewed over 500 voters from all parts of the state recently, and discovered that 56 percent "strongly disapprove" of Trump's style of leadership. Another 46 percent think he's bringing the "wrong kind of change" to the country.

The results probably don't come as a shock to locals - Trump lost Washington to Hillary Clinton 54 percent to 38 percent, a difference of about 500,000 votes.

But things weren't all bad for Trump in Washington. About 40 percent of those polled approved of Trump's leadership style, and 34 percent think he's bringing the right kind of change to the U.S.

The poll was comprised of 32 percent Democrats, 24 percent Republicans, and 44 percent independent voters. Twenty-three percent were from King County (7 percent from Seattle), 20 percent from Eastern Washington, and 17 percent from Pierce and Kitsap counties.

Of course, Democrats in liberal strongholds like King and Snohomish counties don't like Trump - but what about voters in counties that went for Trump? The numbers are still mixed:

-43 percent say Trump is making the “right kind of changes”
-37 percent do not think he is making the "right kind of changes"
-51 percent approve of his leadership style
-45 percent disapprove of his leadership style
