The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Washington voters found Governor Christine Gregoire locked in a tight re-election campaign with Republican Dino Rossi. Four years ago, the 2004 election between the same two candidates was one of the closest elections in the state’s history.
Now, looking ahead to the fall of 2008, Rossi leads Gregoire 47% to 46%, a statistically insignificant difference. The two candidates are tied at 44% among unaffiliated voters.
Rossi is viewed favorably by 52% and unfavorably by 41%. Fifty-one percent (51%) have a favorable opinion of Gregoire while 44% view her unfavorably.
Forty-three percent (43%) of likely Washington voters give Gregoire’s performance as governor a good or excellent rating, while 25% say she is doing a poor job.
Statistically insignificant perhaps, but an important benchmark nonethe less. Dino is definitely running stronger this time around even though it is still early in the campaign.
