Washington Senate Race - 2 GOP candidates push past Patty Murray
Rasmussen ^ | Rasmussen

Posted on 07/16/2010 9:53:34 AM PDT by sunmars

Oh I so wish.....

Washington’s Senate race looks increasingly like a referendum on incumbent Democrat Patty Murray with two Republican candidates edging past her this month.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Washington State finds Republican hopefuls Dino Rossi and Clint Didier both earning 48% support in match-ups with Murray. She, in turn, picks up 45% of the vote against the two GOP challengers. Less than 10% of voters in both cases prefer some other candidate in the race or are undecided.

In June, Murray and Rossi were tied as they have been in virtually every survey this year. Since the beginning of the year, Murray has earned 46% to 48% of the vote, while Rossi’s support has ranged from 46% to 49%.

Incumbents that fall short of 50% at this stage of a campaign are considered potentially vulnerable, but worrisome for Murray is that this is her poorest showing of the year. She was reelected to a third term in 2004 with 55% of the vote.

Hoping?

Dino Rossi? Let's also hope if he prevails he doesn't have to go through multiple recounts like he
did to have the Governor election stolen from him by the Left.

3% is not nearly enough to overcome fraud.

Anyone who puts Patty Murray out to pasture gets bonus points. That thing needs to go.

Murray is the poster child for why the 17th Amendment should be repealed.
