Despite winning the yard sign war in many of communities along the highways of the 10th Legislative District, and regardless of the fact that Republicans have made state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen's (D-Camano Island) seat one of their top targets in the state this year, the latest poll shows Republican challenger Linda Haddon (R-Oak Harbor) has not been able to crack the incumbency barrier.
Jerry Cornfield at the Everett Herald reports that the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee paid for a poll of 400 registered voters in the district, which showed Haugen with a 20 point lead over Haddon, 49-29. Haugen, who chairs the Transportation Committee, won re-election in 2004 with barely 50 percent of the vote.
