The latest poll from Portland's Moore Information shows Gov. Chris Gregoire and her Republican challenger Dino Rossi even with 45 percent apiece. The survey was conducted on July 9-10 and sampled 400 registered voters.
Polls have been relatively close throughout the entire campaign, but this is Rossi's best showing since the winter months. The margin of error was +/- 5 percent, and 9 percent said they were undecided.
The same sample showed Democrat Barack Obama leading Republican John McCain by 10 points, 47-37, in a presidential matchup.
UPDATE: The P-I is reporting, and the Democrats are insisting, that the poll was paid for by Rossi. Rossi used Moore in 2004, as well, per Mulick.
