And you said everything was gloom and doom. <g> Washington Poll: Murray-Rossi Race Tightens Paula Wissel, KPLU Reporter (2010-10-29) The race for a U.S. Senate seat between Democrat Patty Murray and Republican Dino Rossi is tightening, although among likely voters Murray is still ahead. That's according to the latest KCTS 9/KPLU/Washington Poll. The complete results of the Washington poll, done in conjunction with KCTS-9 and KPLU, will be released at noon Friday, October 29. In the earlier KCTS 9/KPLU/Washington poll, conducted a few weeks ago, Murray had an 8-point lead over her Republican challenger Dino Rossi. In the newest poll, that lead is cut in half. It shows Murray with 49 percent of the vote to 45 percent for Rossi. The margin of error is 4.3 percent percent. But, University of Washington pollster Matt Barreto says if you just look at the people who are likely to vote, people who voted in the last two elections, the numbers are more favorable to Murray. She garners 51 percent to Rossi's 45 percent. "Patty Murray appears to be ahead in this contest. I think you're gonna see that play out on election night. On election night, she may have a 4-point lead that could end up expanding as more ballots come in from King county and the Puget Sound Area," Barreto said. One thing the University of Washington political science professor noticed in his poll results is that, unlike in many states, in Washington Democrats seem more enthusiastic about voting than tea party loyalists. The Puget Sound area is overwhelmingly made up of Democrats. The KCTS 9/KPLU/Washington poll also shows the state income tax initiative, Initiative 1098, failing, the soda and candy tax being repealed and an even split on the initiative to privatize liquor sales in the state. publicbroadcasting.net
