Last week, a Rasmussen survey of the Washington Senate race found incumbent Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) trailing Republican nominee Dino Rossi for the first time in nearly a month’s worth of polling. Today, Rasmussen is out with a new survey and similar results: Murray is down to Rossi 49%-46%.
A number of recent polls have shown a close race. A September 21 SurveyUSA poll had Murray ahead only two points, 50%-48%, and a September 25 Fox News poll had the race separated by a single point, with Murray on top 48%-47%.
The TPM Poll Average still has Murray leading in the contest, 48.5%-47.7%.
