Gregoire Tops Rossi

Gregoire is up—but within the margin of error—in the latest SurveyUSA poll.

Slop tipper Scott spotted this Gregoire yard sign in the window at Oasis “bubble tea” house at 6th and Weller in the International District.

Dan...it makes no sense to have Gregoire campaign staff spending time to placate you by placing signs on streets and in neighborhoods that will already likely vote for Gregoire by over 90%. That's why you don't see many here.

I'd rather they were spending their time in Rossi strongholds stumping for converts there.

So, quit pressuring them to satisfy your own pet project and let them get back to work where it makes the most difference. ;-)

Is anyone surprised that Rossi is a bottom?

i see rossi ads every 5 minutes on tv but the only gregoire ad i've seen is the ridiculous one about the lady crying about stem cells, and that ad focused on rossi, not gregoire. about a day or two later rossi released an ad saying "wtf? i support stem cells."

the tv watching masses would be 100% voting for rossi if only he wasn't so unlikeable and evil.

I've seen Gregoire signs in Republic and in Spokane in the past few months. More Rossi signs there, though, but that's not surprising at all...

The WA Dems' strategy should be to get Eastern WA to have just enough votes for Gregoire among the undecideds there.

And I have heard that Gregoire TV ads are like 10 to 1 on Eastern WA

Saw three more Gregoire signs in Ballard today. I put pictures in the Strangr pool.

FiveThirtyEight.com harshes on yard signs, to great comedic effect.

Been driving around the Eastside quite a bit and I haven't seen any Gregoire or Rossi signs. (No Obama or McCain ones either). I am now on a personal quest to find a Gregoire sign in my neighborhood. But, it's good news that there aren't any Rossi signs either...

Look at the crosstabs, dude.

They included 54% Seattle Metro respondents in their surveys.

Make it a more accurate representation of the state's population distribution and Gregoire's lead disappears as fast as our state's deficit is growing.

Neutrally speaking, of course.
