SUSA released another poll on this fascinating governor’s race:
9/23 (682 LVs +/-3.8%) 9/8 in parentheses:
Gregoire 50 (47)
Rossi 48 (48)
So it’s back to where it was just before the primary. Rossi is still up 53-43 among independents, and the gender gap is small. They are tied at 48 among men and Gregoire is up 51-47 among women. I’m starting to think Rossi may have a big barrier at the 48% level that he needs to cross. Maybe we can be a bit more optimistic on this race.
Bonus result: Obama leads McCain in the state 54-43.
May keep us late at night on November 4. Obama will likely win WA in a rout, but Gregoire will need to hang on tight to those coattails. I’m fairly confident she’ll survive, but it may still be a tough fight ahead.
I had a feeling that’s all the last round of polls many states were.
