| In Newly Drawn WA01, Koster & Burner Likely to Advance from Primary to General, Where Republican May Have Slight Early Advantage:
7 weeks until voting begins in the Washington state primary, Republican John Koster and Democrat Darcy Burner are likely to finish #1 and #2 and advance to a November general election in Washington's 1st Congressional District, according to a KING5-TV news poll conducted by SurveyUSA. 5 Democrats are on the primary ballot, and not surprisingly, the 5 Democrats split the primary vote against Koster, the lone Republican. The U.S. House seat is vacant; Democrat Jay Inslee has resigned to run for Governor of Washington. The district has also been re-drawn following the 2010 U.S. Census. If the 08/07/12 primary voting were today, Koster gets 46%, in large part because 85% of the Republicans in the district vote for him. Burner gets 19% today, and is the only 1 of 5 Democrats to get more than 6%. Just 45% of Democrats vote for Burner in the primary; the rest vote for someone else. Voters are overwhelmingly focused on the economy, ahead of health care, education and social issues. Voters say that a candidate from a rural part of the district may do a better job of representing voters than a candidate from an urban part of the district.
Looking ahead to November: Cell-phone and home-phone respondents included in this research. 716 Washington adults who live in the 1st Congressional District were interviewed by SurveyUSA 05/29/12 and 05/30/12. Of the adults, 661 were registered to vote. Of the registered voters, 456 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in an 08/07/12 primary. This research was conducted 100% by telephone. Respondents reachable on a home telephone were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents not reachable on a home telephone were contacted on their cell phone, by live operators, who hand-dialed the telephone, screened the respondent for eligibility, asked the questions, and then remained on the line throughout the interview. In this survey, as in other SurveyUSA research, cell-phone respondents vote differently as do home-phone respondents. In the head-to-head November match-up between Burner and Koster, Burner leads among cell-phone respondents; Koster leads among home-phone respondents. When the two groups are proportionally blended, the Republican is ahead. In a contest for President of the United States, Barack Obama leads among cell-phone respondents; Mitt Romney leads among home-phone respondents. When the two groups are proportionally blended, the Obama-Romney contest, in Washington's 1st Congressional District, is effectively even: Romney 45%, Obama 44%. |
