A newly released poll of the Washington Senate race finds Democratic incumbent Sen. Patty Murray clinging to a one-point lead over Republican nominee Dino Rossi, 48%-47%.
This was Marist’s first look at the contest, so there are no numbers available for direct comparison. An October 17 Rasmussen survey had Murray leading by three points, 49%-46%, and an October 16 PPP poll had the incumbent ahead 49%-47%.
The TPM Poll Average finds Murray with a 49.3%-45.8% advantage in the race. The latest poll’s margin of error is ±4.0 percentage points.
