Solid, limited Trump base in Washington: Poll pegs it at 35%

President Trump has a 35% base of support in Washington State, according to 2018 and 2019 findings by Public Policy Polling.

The figure hasn't moved, reflecting the country's polarization. Hillary Clinton carried Washington by a half-million votes in 2016, a margin almost entirely built in populous King County.

In a new survey, done for the Northwest Progressive Institute, PPP found that 35% of Washington voters approve the performance of our 45th president, while 61% give Trump a thumbs-down. Just 4% are unsure.

If the election were held today, 34% would vote for Trump while 59% would vote for his Democratic opponent. Another 7% are not sure.
The President's base was -- you guessed it -- 35% a year ago.

The Yakima valley has a pretty large Hispanic population.

... none of them will hire white in their fields or orchards. Lack of a work ethic is why. Makes no sense to me.
