New Poll: Washington Senate--Murray: 50% Rossi 41%

[WI_DEM]

A new Elway Poll on the Senate race has incumbent Democrat Patty Murray up 50-41% over Republican challenger Dino Rossi.

The poll of 500 likely voters showed Murray's support strongest is among Baby Boomers, women and retirees.

Rossi has a big edge in Eastern Washington, Pierce and Kitsap counties, and with voters earning more than $75,000. He also leads among independents.

The Elway poll, released Monday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percent.

Those results are quite a bit different from a KING 5 poll by Survey USA last month, which had Rossi ahead 52-45.

That poll, as Seattle PI.com's Chris Grygiel noted, weirdly had Rossi tied with Murray in the greater Seattle area, even though she won 59% of the King County vote in the primary. The Elway poll puts Murray's King County lead at 61-30%.
