Washington Senate: Rasmussen Gives Rossi a Two-Point Lead

In Washington State, the “U.S. Senate race remains one of the closest in the country,” according to a new Rasmussen survey.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state shows Republican challenger Dino Rossi attracting 48% of the vote while Democratic Senator Patty Murray earns support from 46%. Three percent (3%) prefer a different candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

Earlier this month, Murray had a slight edge. However, the race has been very close all along.

With leaners:

When leaners are included in the new totals, Rossi attracts 50% of the vote and Murray earns 47%. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning towards a particular candidate.
