Initiative 1053, which re-states the existing laws requiring two-thirds majority votes in the legislature or voter approval to increase taxes, passes comfortably, with broad support. Results below.

Initiative 1082, on industrial insurance, is too close to call. Republicans and Independents narrowly favor. Democrats decisively oppose. Results here.

Initiative 1098, which would create a state income tax, is positioned for defeat. Opposition is 2:1 in Eastern WA, 7:4 in Western WA and 3:2 in greater Seattle (which, as always, includes Pierce, Snohomish and King counties). Results below.

Initiative 1100, the 1st of 2 initiatives about liquor, has a chance to pass, but handicapping is complex: Men support, women oppose. Upper-income voters support, lower-income voters oppose. Those who almost never vote in congressional elections but who tell SurveyUSA they are uniquely motivated to vote in 2010, are overwhelmingly in favor of 1100. This may indicate that some voters have no interest in other issues on the ballot, but are singularly motivated by the opportunity to vote in favor of 1100 and 1105. Results here.

Initiative 1105, the 2nd of 2 initiatives on liquor, faces almost certain defeat. Men and women oppose, young and old oppose, Democrats, Republicans and Independents all oppose, whites and Asians oppose, Western WA, Eastern WA and greater Seattle oppose. Results here.

Initiative 1107, which would end sales taxes on candy, end temporary taxes on bottled water and carbonated drinks, and reduce tax rates for certain companies that make food products, is still positioned to pass. 1107 has broad support across age groups and in all regions. Results below.
