SEATTLE - It's a mean political season, according to a new survey of Washington state voters, 57 percent of whom say most political television advertisements are attack ads.

Doug Shadel, AARP Washington state director, says its survey also finds that 79 percent are skeptical about the claims being made in political ads. Even so, he says, less than a third of Washington voters understand that it's not a violation of federal law to make deceptive claims in a campaign ad.
