A new Rasmussen poll shows Gov. Chris Gregoire leading her Republican opponent Dino Rossi by six points, slightly below last month's seven point spread. Gregoire received the support of 49 percent of respondents, while Rossi had the backing of 43 percent.
The same poll saw Gregoire with a 56 percent favorability rating compared with 42 percent unfavorable, slightly better than Rossi's 50 percent favorable and 45 percent unfavorable.
Rasmussen also predicted that Gregoire has a 90 percent chance of winning the race based upon its election market.
**SCHNIPP**
It's still pretty early for these polls to mean a whole lot, but Dino seems to be holding his own...
