Description"Seattle claimed the title of most popular city in the country in April, but it cannot claim the title of most popular city in Washington. Spokane comes in as the most popular of the state’s cities, with 56% seeing it favorably and only 14% unfavorably. Seattle has a higher raw favorability (58%), but 26% see it negatively. In terms of net favorability, Vancouver also tops Seattle (49-10). The capital, Olympia, is not far behind (48-20).

Seattle topped the list of most popular cities in the U.S. with a 57-14 favorability spread nationwide. Dragging down Seattle’s favorability rating in its home state is an enormous partisan division among voters. The state’s largest city has a +74 net favorability rating (82-8) with Democrats and a -3 net favorability rating (38-41) with Republicans. Independents favor the city, 48-35.

Spokane is the most popular city with Republicans at 69% favorability among GOP voters. But unlike Seattle, Spokane is viewed positively by all voters. 52% of Democrats and 50% of independents also view the city favorably.

Tacoma is the only city seen negatively (33-40). There is a big partisan divide on it as well, with 44% of Democrats seeing it in a good light but 50% of Republicans and 43% of independents in a bad one."
