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 Avg. Ratings

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—Respondents who rated candidate greater than 50 **Cool—Respondents who rated candidate less than 50 Warm Cool
