OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A ballot initiative that would expand background checks on all firearm sales and transfers in Washington state has lost some support in the past few months but still has a lead over another measure that would prevent any such expansion, according to a new poll released Monday.

Independent pollster Stuart Elway says support for both measures dipped since his last poll in July. Elway’s latest survey indicated that 60 percent of voters were inclined to vote for universal background checks, down from 70 percent in July and 72 percent in April.
