New Washington Senate Poll Shows Murray Ahead of Rossi by 17
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyMany of the polls on the Washington Senate race -- including one released Wednesday -- show Democratic incumbent Patty Murray easily besting the declared Republican candidates seeking her job, but facing a closer contest if former state senator and unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi got into the race. The last three polls had these results: Rasmussen had Murray statistically tied with Rossi at 48 percent to 46 percent, SurveyUSA had Rossi ahead 52 percent to 42 percent, and Research 2000 put Murray ahead 52 percent to 41 percent. Now comes an Elway poll conducted April 29 - May ...
Patty Murray's Numbers Firm Up in Washington Senate Race, but Rossi Looms
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyThree-term Democratic Sen. Patty Murray has firmed up her support against three announced Republican candidates seeking her job, but she still finds herself in a neck-and-neck contest if businessman and unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi gets into the race, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted May 4. Murray is right where she was with Rossi a month ago: leading him by 48 percent to 46 percent, with 2 percent favoring another candidate and 3 percent undecided. The margin of error is 4.5 points. But she has broken the 50 percent support mark against two declared ...

Democrats' Murray Could Face Close Contest in Washington if Rossi Runs
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyDemocratic Sen. Patty Murray leads three of the Republicans who have announced they'd run against her, but if Dino Rossi -- famous for losing the closest governor's race in U.S. history decides to jump in, Murray would find herself in a statistical tie with him, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted April 6. Rossi leads Murray 48 percent to 46 percent with 1 percent preferring some other candidate and 5 percent undecided. Rossi recently told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that there is "no hurry" to make a decision because the filing deadline is not until June. Against the declared ...
Democrat's Murray Would Face Close Race if GOP's Dino Rossi Runs
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyThe big question hanging over the Senate race in Washington state, where Democrat Patty Murray is seeking a fourth term, is whether Republican Dino Rossi, who lost the closest governor's race in U.S. history decides to jump in. A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted March 9 shows Murray ahead of three Republican candidates but trailing Rossi, who has said he is considering the race, by 3 points (the margin of error is 4.5 points). Murray is viewed favorably by more than half the state's voters but she falls short (though not by much) of the 50 percent mark against all of them. Rasmussen ...
