65% of Washington voters support an “away for the day” ban on mobile phones in all K‑12 public schools, with just 27% opposed

Even more striking, the percentage of voters in the Evergreen State who approve of Trump's job performance fell to 30% in NPI's spring survey of the Washington electorate, which is 4% less than the previous low.
