Internal poll shows Burbank ahead in LD36
By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com ReporterAn internal poll paid for by John Burbank's (D-Seattle) campaign for state House, position 1 in the 36th Legislative District shows him leading fellow Democrat Reuven Carlyle three weeks ahead of the November 4 election.
The poll Burbank commissioned shows him with a 29-21 lead over Carlyle, with 50 percent undecided.
Because of the "top two" primary, both Democrats moved on from the primary to face each other again in the general election. Carlyle won the primary with 44.5 percent of the vote compared with 40 percent for Burbank and 15.4 percent for Republican Leslie Bloss.

Is the the Push Poll
Dear Bryan,
Please continue your fine reporting by asking about the content of the "internal polling" conducted by the Burbank campaign instead of just reprinting their press release.
Several neighbors received a nasty push poll, apparently the "internal polling" you referred to. Questions along the lines of, "would it change your opinion of Reuven Carlyle if you knew......" Of course the listed items were preposterous statements.
It has changed my opinion of John Burbank that he would use Rovian Republican tactics, and apparently say anything or do anything to win. I got a weird letter from the Chair of the District that said that Burbank didn't like the sample ballots produced by the 36th District, and paid to have new ones printed for his benefit. What kind of behavior is that? Say anything, do anything
