The news in the new year is not good for rookie Governor Jay Inslee, with the annual pre-legislative session Elway Poll showing that the voters’ views of his job performance continue to decline.
According to Elway, “Jay Inslee’s job performance ratings have declined slightly every 6 months since his first anniversary in office. In rating his overall performance and each of four aspects of the job of Governor, a majority of voters in this survey said he is doing a ‘poor’ or ‘only fair.’ The biggest change since last July was a drop from 41 percent to 33 percent in the positive marks for ‘articulating a vision of the future of the state.’”
Even more troubling for Inslee – who never has seemed to be very concerned about the actual job of governing – is that his re-election numbers are also low. Again, Elway: “Governor Jay Inslee has a race on his hands. With only 39% of voters polled inclined to vote for his reelection… Every election is largely a referendum on the incumbent, and this one is starting out to be just that. The story early in this election year is Inslee’s apparent vulnerability.”
Inslee has been busy announcing executive actions lately – new Ecology rules to drive up energy costs, new gun rules to appeal to his liberal Seattle base, etc. – try and appear like he is leading. However, the fact that he hasn’t been able to get any of his priorities through even the Democrat State House signal just how weak he is in Olympia.
His fundraising weakness, as reported by Shift last month, is another problem for Inslee, as he has already spent half the money he has raised over the least three years.
Now we have 11 months to see if those undecided voters put as high a priority on talking about climate change as Inslee does.
Steyer will fund him.
There has to be something Steyer can be arrested for.
California is a sanctuary state for liberals like him.
I wrote Tom Dent after Inslee did his gun grabbing move and called for his impeachment! Got just a bulls**t response, of course.
I could easily do a better job than Inslee and have zero political back ground.
I, for one, am thrilled to see how little OTHERS think of this jerk in our Governor’s mansion. I truly believe he is just an Obama Mini-me! The WORST governor this state has seen in decades, if not, since our statehood! Now, if only Seattelite Liberal/Socialists would only WAKE the HELL up! The REST of the state seems to have!
DITTO….DITTO….DITTO….DITTO….DITTOO…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Used all these DITTO’s As saying Lyndau..JUST BEAT me to saying & believing the EXACT SAME
from this ‘crap act’ Obama clone mistake ..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Sgt. Sharp! You, indeed, are a SANE Washingtonian! And Thank you for your Service! We are so in- debted to you! Bless you! Praying that we get our country BACK!
Thank you for your Service.
You are absolutely correct.
Stop tolerating PC, liberals and progressives (actually extremely regressive).
Seattle is too broken, mayor is broken, city council is mentally ill.
We need to cut seattle off as a separate prison colony, erect a wall and keep the liberals away from the Productive, capable and sane people in the remainder of the state.
Liberalism is a dangerous mental disorder.
I so agree with you. Stop the INSANITY in Seattle!
We need to cut seattle off as a separate prison colony, erect a wall and keep the liberals away from the Productive, capable and sane people in the remainder of the state.
“Compared to the median Washington per capita income, Seattle median per capita income is $5,013 higher.”
I’m sorry, what were you were saying, again?
Inslee actually makes our past Governor look good in comparison! He needs to go out with the trash.
