Rossi Remains Close
A new poll in the Washington gubernatorial race gives Christine Gregoire, the incumbent Democrat, a mere 48%-47% lead over Dino Rossi, her Republican challenger.
Just last week, Congressional Quarterly shifted their rating in the race from "no clear favorite" to "leans Democrat," a move with which I agreed. The old Goodman jinx, at work again.
(In fairness to CQ, their argument that Democrats enjoy structural advantages in Washington is just as true today as it was before the new poll came out.)

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
