Re: Starbucks, which is also headquartered in the state, is significantly less popular than Microsoft, at 46% favorability. Starbucks is very popular with liberals and not very popular with conservatives—61% of very liberal voters have a favorable opinion of the company to just 38% of very conservative voters. The company has a +39 net favorability rating with Democrats and just a +14 net favorability rating with Republicans. Just awhile ago I went to our neighborhood Starbucks. About 4:15 pm PDT here at that time. Past the rush hour lunch, or when kids get out of school, and pre dinner.....It's a wonderful place....Lots of seating under shelter outside, and outside (and inside fireplace), lots of places where dogs can be tied up, and reach the water dishes that Starbucks provides for them. PLUS comfortable furniture, outside and in....People of every age come here, not only to "grab and run" but it's a meeting place, a place for reading for some, or working on the computer, or just plain relaxing.
