A new Rasmussen poll of the Washington Senate race finds Democratic Sen. Patty Murray ahead of Republican rival Dino Rossi, 50%-46%.
The poll found an equivalent four-point advantage for Murray, 48%-44% prior to establishing leaners’ preferential candidate in the race with a follow-up question. The latest survey is the first conducted since Murray and Rossi easily advanced out of Washington’s “Top Two” primary earlier this week. In a July 28 Rasmussen survey, Murray was favored 49%-47%. An earlier Rasmussen poll from July had Rossi on top, 48%-45%. All three of these polls’ margin of error are ±4.0 percentage points.
The TPM Poll Average shows Murray ahead in the race, 48.7%-46.6%.
