Two new internal polls commissioned by Democrats show 8th Congressional District challenger Darcy Burner (D-Carnation) leading her opponent, Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Auburn).
Yesterday's Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee poll gave Burner a five point lead, 49-44, while an internal poll paid for by Burner's campaign will show her up by seven, 47-40, when it is released later today.
The Burner poll was done by Lake Research from a sample of 500 8th District voters. The same poll showed Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) leading Republican Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) by about twenty points among voters in the 8th.
UPDATE: PolitickerWA.com originally mistyped the DCCC poll. They have been corrected.
