A new Public Policy poll of 2,055 likely voters in Washington state has got to be causing Senate Democrat Patty Murray heartburn. Murray has been leading her Republican rival Dino Rossi in most polls for weeks, but this one has her down two points, 50-48.
Now, Murray was ahead or at least tied in all but one survey last week. That was a Rasmussen poll which gave Rossi a one point lead, 48-47.
Rasmussen has a slight Republican tilt, so it didn’t raise too many eyebrows. But the previous Rasmussen poll gave Murray a three point lead, 49-46. And the last PPP poll gave her a 49-47 edge.
That suggests some narrowing of an already tight race with one day to go.
The TPM Polltracker Average gives Murray a 48.9-46.2 lead over Rossi.
