Republicans will try again and again... but fail. This state is just too blue for them. Safe D.

Hill would be the strongest of that bunch, IMO. Mostly just a name recognition thing at this point... But yeah, Inslee will probably be re-elected.

Likely D at the very least, probably Safe D unless McKenna runs, which he probably won't. LOL at the people who think Reichert will be the Republican savior in WA.

Surprised Reichert is trailing by 11, but Inslee is several points below 50%. Likely D for now.

For the Governor race:
Bryant-Likely D
McKenna-Lean D
Reichert-Lean D
Hill-Lean D

Hill and McKenna are the strongest choices, Reichert would be better in a Senate battle.

Inslee's middling approvals probably come from how anonymous he is. Since his election, most of the major law changes have come from initiatives and referendums, while the gridlocked legislature struggles to do anything.

Literally the only times I've seen Inslee in the news was during the Hanford nuclear leak, the Oso landslide, and various ceremonies and such.

You are a Democrat now? lol.

Also, I wouldn't say it's "safe". McKenna did come close in 2012 while Obama won in a landslide.

Oh it's always close, sometimes nail-bitingly so. But the Democrat always pulls it out.

Barring scandal or economic disaster, Inslee probably improves on his 2012 share of the vote.

Democratic win again.  Not much to see here.

McKenna was the best candidate Republicans could field, and had an enormous name recognition advantage over Inslee in 2012. A three-point loss is about the best Republicans can hope for, and without McKenna, they almost certainly won't do as well.
