SurveyUSA: Gregoire 48, Rossi 47
Compare that to the same pollster's take on the Presidential race in the Evergreen State: Obama 56, McCain 40.
That's a lot of Dinocrats, to which SurveyUSA alludes in their write up of the gubernatorial poll:
Most striking: SurveyUSA is polling in 28 states. In state after state, as Democrat Barack Obama has run up the score at the top of the ticket, down-ticket Democrats have benefited. In other states, a rising Democratic tide is floating the boats of Democratic candidates for Senator, Governor, and Attorney General. Not in Washington State. Dino Rossi, rare among Republicans running for statewide office in 2008, is not being dragged down by John McCain. Christine Gregoire is not being pumped up by Barack Obama.
And people wonder why both sides are absolutely pouring money into this race.
