Real Clear Politics reporting of the polling in the Murray vs. Rossi Senate race shows that in less than one month there has been a 16 point swing in Murray's favor. An August 18-19 Survey USA poll showed Rossi with a 7 point lead. A CNN/Time poll take September 9-14 showed Murray with a 9 point lead. So, in less than a month, Rossi has lost 16 points — an implosion by most definitions.
This is Rossi's third try at state-wide office. If he doesn't win this time, he's deservedly finished.

If he had any, maybe.
Down here in Portland I have NO idea who is running against Wyden. I suppose I can google it. But I haven’t seen one ad for whoever it is.
Wyden is pitching everything in his ads EXCEPT his health care involvement.
He has nuts?
Seriously, Dino needs to campaign like he actually wants to win. I know in his silk glove world, that might be distasteful, however
What are you likely to get if you pick a two time loser if not a three time loser.
I hope I'm wrong.
At a time when true conservatives are winning big he is loosing big with a conservative message. So you have to ask, is it the message or the candidate.
— In 2004 ran for governor as a strong conservative. He was robbed but wasn’t willing to fight to overturn the injustice.
— In 2008 he “moved to the center”, advocating “comprehensive immigration reform” and never using the word “abortion”. He lost by over 6%.
— In 2010 he has moved back to the right and has scrapped the “comprehensive immigration reform” line for a strong pro-border stance.
Problem is, do enough people in Washington still believe him and do enough people believe IN him?
1) Rossi never led this race by a margin beyond 1 or 2% if even that. 7% in WA for a Republican? Give me a damn break. Any poll stating otherwise is garbage.
2) They compare two different polls to show implosion? Why not show the swing between the same poll. That would be at least more relevant here.
3) Didier wouldn’t even be doing as well as Rossi. If he couldn;t win his primary among Republicans no way was he going to win over them AND the Dems and Indy’s.
4) I have said all along chances of winning this seat were slim with any candidate. Welcome to the real world where a Republican can get close to 50% but never quite over the top except in a rare election and then they steal it.
Third times a charm. I think Rossi will beat down the Fremont troll (Murray).

The Rasmussen polls are interesting. With the exception of a poll at the end of August Rossi has been between 46-48% of the vote and the latest poll has him still there. The swings the author is pointing to is non-existent.
How about his beliefs and policies? Why call him a milktoast instead of evaluating his policies? What is wrong with you folks that continue to think PC politics instead if ideas and beliefs... Is he honest, is he sincere.. those traits are much more important than almost everything else...
Just what are you voting for anyway?
I hope so Vicki. But I think he needs to get Didier and Akers to barnstorm the state on his behalf. I detect little enthusiasm here.
Please...... your upset over a CNN/ Time push poll ?
He sounded like a conservative in the primary, unlike his race for the guvship in 08. So in theory, he’d be a good addition.
No, but the fact that I still see twice as many Didier signs as I do Rossi signs is ....well, not a good sign.
I’m sure the only reason were seeing any ads against Boxer here in CA is because Carly is rich enough to pay for them herself.
I don’t believe this for a minute.
Didier was a good candidate, but his antics after the primary really hurt him for future runs. He needs to lose the attitude, cuz I’d like to see him run against our other loser senator next time.
There are worse economies than the one in Washington so maybe they’re still too comfortable with this little rat senator.
ARRGH!
Didier is pissed at the GOP establishment. I don’t blame him. But he should bury the hatchet and help get Milquetoast across the finish line.
Exactly what they are trying to do...polls are designed to manipulate you...don't fall for it.
