Inside Olympia — Stuart Elway, Pollster

Longtime Washington pollster Stuart Elway joins Inside Olympia to explain why he’s ending the 33-year Elway Poll and what its loss means for the state. Elway and host Austin Jenkins break down the poll’s final findings, including historic voter pessimism and early negative ratings for Gov. Bob Ferguson and the Legislature. He also reflects on his 50-year career, Washington’s shift from purple to deep blue, the rise of the urban-rural divide and the challenges facing both political parties.
