Politics New Poll: Murray Narrowly Beats Rossi, 49-46

Posted by on Tue, Aug 3, 2010 at 4:42 PM

But... the poll, by Public Policy Polling, comes with a +/-2.8 percent margin of error and shows 5 percent of voters still undecided in a head-to-head contest between incumbent Democrat Patty Murray and Republican challenger Dino Rossi.

In other words, even though the poll found her beating him 49-46 right now, it's still a very close race that could be decided by a small swing in undecideds as November approaches.

What about a poll that looks more like the Aug. 17 primary ballot is going to look? Well, PPP ran that one too:

Patty Murray (D): 47
Dino Rossi (R): 33
Clint Didier (R): 10
Paul Akers (R): 4
Undecided: 6

This is only the latest poll to show that Didier, despite his enjoyable pictures and clear yard-sign dominance in rural Washington, is very unlikely to make it through the primary.

No, they forgot to append Comrade Dino Rossi's official Russian designation .... let's show some respect, wheat fields are burning in Russia, it's hard for them to keep their active spies like Dino in operation destroying America's economy ...

Clint Didier is also remarkably popular on Whidbey Island. The drive from the Clinton ferry to Freeland goes something like this: real estate office, plant nursery, Mexican restaurant, Clint Didier sign, American Legion hall, Clint Didier sign, Clint Didier sign, Clint Didier sign, Clint Didier sign ...

@4 There's Didier signs everywhere in Bellevue too. I have yet to even see a Rossi sign.

I think I found one, @5 - it says "Martini and Rossi".

@5: I see Rossi signs in Kent, but they're mostly ones that people still haven't taken down since the last gubernatorial election.
