Republican polling firm Strategic Vision has a new poll out of 800 likely Washington voters showing that 47 percent would vote for Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire and 45 percent would vote for Republican Dino Rossi.
The poll, conducted last weekend, indicated 8 percent are undecided. You can find the poll here. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.
The survey shows Gregoire with a 48 percent approval rating and 45 percent disapproval rating. It also showed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama up on Republican John McCain 48 percent to 37 percent.
President Bush got a 22 percent approval rating, which trumps the 14 percent approval rating Congress got.
