Poll: Gregoire 50, Rossi 48

The latest SurveyUSA tracking poll, commissioned by KING-TV and KATU-TV, shows Gov. Chris Gregoire narrowly leading Republican Dino Rossi 50 percent to 48 percent, representing a three point swing for Gregoire since the last SurveyUSA poll done two weeks ago which showed Rossi ahead by one.

Notable among the crosstabs is that this has been the most partisan poll to date. Rossi is supported by 92 percent of Republicans and Gregoire by 87 percent of Democrats, both all time highs in the SurveyUSA tracking poll for this race.

The poll was created from a survey of 682 likely voters on September 21 and 22, 2008. The margin of error is +/- 3.8 percent.

The same poll showed Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) leading his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, 54 percent to 43 percent. Obama's eleven point lead is his largest since July, and seven points higher than the last poll released two weeks ago.
