OLYMPIA — Just 30 percent of those surveyed in a new Elway Poll said they would re-elect Gov. Jay Inslee in 2016.
Although the numbers, released Wednesday, show discontent over Inslee’s performance, the governor received a better grade than lawmakers.
The poll found that 41 percent of those surveyed said the governor’s job performance was “good” or “excellent.” That‘s a decline from 45 percent in January 2014 and from 42 percent this January, according to the poll.
Seven of 10 voters surveyed gave Inslee a “satisfactory” or C grade, according to the poll. In a separate Elway Poll released Monday, voters gave the Legislature a “D-plus” for its work in this year’s marathon series of sessions.
