Senate Race
Dino Rossi v. Patty Murray
Poll: RealClearPolitic Average has Murray ahead 50-46.7. The greatest lead is Murray +11 while Rossi's biggest lead is +7. This is a big difference since my last blog entry but still keeps the race a toss up since the margin of error is more than three percent. Both candidates are looking for a late push and Rossi seems to be closing the gap that Murray opened up the past two weeks. One of the best things going for Murray to hold onto the state is that Washington has been blue for a long time now and she often is not viewed as an establishment candidate which are the most likely candidates to lose their seats in this political climate.
House seats
District 2
Koster v. Larsen
Larsen is the democrat and has been very liberal in his voting though has voted more moderate on economic issues which may help him in the election in less than a month. Currently Larsen is up in the polls 50-47.
District 3
Herrera v. Heck
Herrera, the Republican is currently leading in the polls +9 which is four points less than last month but will most likely maintain her seat.
District 8
Reichert v. DelBene
Reichert, the incumbent Republican, is up 9 points in the polls but has dropped 6 points since last month. Despite the shrinking gap it seems DelBene will be unable to overcome the incumbent unless there is a major slip up by Reichert.
District 9
Smith v. Muri
Smith, the incumbent Democrat is currently leading by only 3 points in the polls so it is still a toss up. RealClearPolitics says this race leans democrat which makes sense due to the history of this district to be Democratic
