Dino Rossi continues to lead Pat Murray.

According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, Republican Dino Rossi is leading Democratic Senator Patty Murray by 2% in Washington's red hot senatorial race. This is the first time since early-to-mid July that Mr.Rossi has come ahead in Rasmussen polling, even though SurveyUSA has him in the lead as of two weeks ago by 7%.

Rasmussen Survey of 750 Washington Likely Voters:
Dino Rossi (R) - 48%.
Pat Murray (D) - 46%.
Undecided voters - 6%.

Not good news for the 18 year Senator, especially when you consider her two-month long lead over Dino Rossi in Rasmussen polls, and the fact that 50% of Washington voters now disapprove of President Obama, who won their state by almost 20% in 2008. It appears Conservatism is overtaking the Pacific North West (Joe Miller in Alaska, Chris Dudley in Oregon, and Dino Rossi in Washington).

Rossi leads Murray in Washington by 7%.

WOW:

Dino Rossi (R) - 52%.
Pat Murray (D) - 45%.
Undecided voters - 3%.
* Denotes Incumbent

I knew that Washington's Primary results on Tuesday meant Mr.Rossi was on the correct path, but I didn't know he was actually on a winning path this early in the general election. 90% of all Republican voters support his campaign, along with about 60% of Independents - that is simply amazing to see in a state like Washington. We have to remember that Rossi virtually won the Governor's race in 2004 and still has a high level of support and credibility in this Pacific Northwest state.

Check out all of our recent polling analysis including Arkansas Incumbent Dem Blanche Lincoln down 38%.

Defeating Senator Murray is no longer a question of maybe, but by how much. Especially when you consider that her campaign is trailing to Dino Rossi among voters aged 18-49, a crucial bloc of votes in a state where 52% of voters are under the age of 50. Also, Mr.Rossi leads both voters who have graduated college (51%), and who have not graduated from college (49%).

Note - 51% of Washington voters are college graduates, while 49% are not. Sorry if any confusion came from my initial post.

Dino Rossi slaughters Clint Didier in Washington Primary.

Washington State held their unusual Primary vote yesterday, one in which all of the Democratic, Republican, and Independent candidates square off against one-another in a top 2 primary, and the candidates, regardless of political affiliation, who have the two highest vote totals when the day is over, will face off in November.

The results were not good for either Senator Murray or Clint Didier:

Patty Murray (D) - 433,211 - 46.04%
Dino Rossi (R) - 319,708 - 33.98%.
Clint Didier (R) - 112,774 - 11.99%.
Paul Akers (R) - 23,889 - 2.54%.
Charles Allen (D) - 7,973 - 0.85%.

Ouch.

Dino Rossi, the mainstream Republican candidate in the Primary defeated Mr.Didier, who can only be kindly described as Libertarian, by a margin of over 200,000 votes. Obviously Sarah's power (Mrs.Palin endorsed Didier over Rossi) doesn't have a significant impact with the voters of Washington State.

However, the results were even worse for Senator Pat Murray, as not even 50% of all voters in the State of Washington supported her in a Primary dominated by Republican infighting. And when you breakdown the results by political affiliation, Republicans are no longer the minority party in a certain deep blue state.

Republican Party (6 candidates) - 496,364 - 49.89%
Democratic Party (5 candidates) - 456,290 - 48.50%
Independents/Other (4 candidates) - 15,236 - 1.62%

I'm hopeful that Dino Rossi can unite all 496,364 Washington State voters who supported one of six Republican Party candidates behind his crucial Senatorial campaign, and that his campaign will add even more voters by November, in what is one of the most important races of 2010.

Who to support: Didier or Rossi?

According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll out of Washington state, Senator Patty Murray (D) is trailing both of her potential Republican opponents: former football player Chris Didier, and two time Gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi. Leaving Washington Republicans with a grand chance to defeat the liberalist of Senator's in a deep blue state.

However, with the Senatorial election no longer about selecting a token candidate, Republicans must take into account what kind of Senator their eventual Nominee would be. And when we look at that, Chris Didier doesn't belong within 10,000 miles of Washington D.C., let alone being the GOP candidate for US Senate anywhere.

Clint Didier on National Defense:

1. America should withdrawal all Troops from all Overseas Bases.

2. America should not be involved in International Affairs.

3. Distorts Reagan policy of "Peace through Strength".

4. Disagrees with Bush Doctrine on Nations harbouring Terrorists.

5. Distorts Congressional Approval of Wars in Middle East.

6. Wants America to leave the UN immediately.

7. Does not believe in "Free Trade Agreements".

8. Was endorsed by Congressman Ron Paul two weeks ago.

He might wrap his "Isolationism Flag" with the Founders, but he's really wrapping it with Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, and other Libertarian fruitcakes. When Republicans control the Senate again, we need pro-national defense members in our Caucus, not anti-defense nuts who join the Democratic Caucus on what really matters.

Didier is unqualified for the Republican Nomination, and Sarah Palin is a jackass for endorsing this clown.
