Things ain’t looking so good. Can Rossi pull his nuts out of the fire?
Did Cornyn and his cohorts bring Rossi in this race?
Look more closely at the methodology and sampling. It’s skewed towards Murray. With turnout and passion in our favor, now is not the time to go all wobbly.
What the heck is going on? He should have been governor and now he can’t even beat Murray in this miserable economy?
I thought the moderates, the RINOs, the establishment candidates, were the electable ones
Realclear is an ‘average’ of polls isn’t it??
Please folks... Disregard this and continue as planned. This is bunk and most know it. Just stay the course. Geez, don’t let the media control this process...
This poll is garbage. Rossi deserves our support.
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.
Please...... your upset over a CNN/ Time push poll ?
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.
The only one I see imploding is clint.
The polling is a (piss-poor) joke.
Ugh... what the heck??
The Murray machine is going to hollow Dino out and use him as a canoe.
Dino Rossi is doing fine. If you look at all the polls in the aggregate, you will see that he is leading Murray among independents by a comfortable margin and, if turnout in WA is as expected, he will win by 3%-5%. WA was never going to be a blowout.
I think that Didier should act like a real Republican (instead of like a conservative version of Mike Castle or Lisa Murkowski) and endorse Rossi and campaign with him, thus ensuring the type of conservative turnout that would make it impossible for Murray to win. Didier would increase his name ID and campaign skills, prove to WA Republicans that he’s a team player, and then run against Senator Cantwell in 2012. As it is, his sour grapes are turning off a lot of Republicans who like Didier but just happened to think that Rossi had a better chance of beating Murray to his greater name ID and political skills.
You can’t compare two different polls this way.
