About the Poll
The Washington Poll is a non-partisan, academic survey research project
sponsored by the Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity & Race
(WISER), a research center at the University of Washington in the School of
Social Sciences. Dr. Gary Segura, a professor of Political Science is the
Director of WISER and a co-principal investigator on this survey with Dr.
Matt Barreto, also a professor of Political Science.
The survey was administered by telephone, by Pacific Market Research, in
Renton, WA, based on a randomly selected list of phone numbers using a
list of registered voters. The survey was in the field from October 22 – 28,
2007. A total of 601 registered voters throughout the state of Washington
were interviewed, yielding in a 4.0% margin of error. Percentages may not
add up to 100% due to rounding.
Additional results and cross-tabulations will be released each day, so
please check back for updates.

Presidential Candidate Avg. Ratings
Now let’s talk about some candidates running for President. I'll read a candidate's name and ask you
to rate each one on a thermometer that runs from 0 to 100 degrees. Ratings between 50 and 100
mean that you feel favorable toward that person, with 100 being most favorable. Ratings between 0
and 50 mean that you feel unfavorable toward that person. You may use any number from 0 to 100
to tell me how you feel.
Presidential Candidate Warm/Cool Ratings
Using the same 0 – 100 Feeling Thermometer, this chart displays what percentage of Washington
voters rate a candidate “warm” versus “cool.” Warm means that voters rated the candidate 51 or
higher, and Cool means that voters rated the candidate 49 or lower.
Warm
Cool
**Warm—Respondents who rated candidate greater than 50
**Cool—Respondents who rated candidate less than 50
