States like Texas and Utah get an "atta boy" but Wash State still sucks!

The latest round-up of President Obama's job approval or favorability ratings by state updates or adds Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
Some of these polls reflect the problems Obama has been having in national surveys. In Colorado, where Obama won with 54 percent of the vote in 2008, his approval rating is down to 47 percent. His job approval rating in North Carolina is the lowest since he became president. In Missouri, where he nearly beat John McCain, 58 percent disapprove of his performance. Obama carried Pennsylvania with 54 percent but 53 percent currently disapprove of the job he is doing.

Washington is a classic case of an urban center dominating the state's electorate.

Last I saw the local poll on O's approval, it was high 60's disapprove. You'll find that's consistent all over the State, except...

The Puget Sound Basin (Seattle, Tacoma, Everett) dominate any polls and unfortuanately any elections.

It has nothing to do with the I-5 corridor, but has everything to do with seawater on the brain. Haven't you ever noticed how those states that have coastlines are the most liberal in the country. It's the saltwater my friends. Lets all ban saltwater.

Hey, it makes a whole lot more sense than global warming.
