closeSurveyUSA has a new poll out this week showing Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire with a 50 percent to 48 percent lead over Republican Dino Rossi. That marks positive movement for Gregoire since the firm’s last poll two weeks ago.
Still, the last seven SurveyUSA polls on the governor’s race have all been within the margin of error.
The poll was conducted of 682 likely voters Sunday and Monday for KATU TV in Portland and KING TV in Seattle.
The same poll also showed Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama widening what had been a narrowing lead. He now leads Republican John McCain in Washington 54 percent to 43 percent.
You know what this calls for? You guessed it. A Monte Carlo analysis.
