WA Governor: Gregoire leads Rossi 51-40

[Alcon]

I don't remember much of Hart & Associates' work, but that's pretty surprising to me.  Even if I assumed Gregoire was probably somewhat ahead due to the increased Democratic slant of the state, I wouldn't have put it at 11 points.

There is still 9% undecided. The race could still flip, but who knows.

The 9% undecided is a lot less important than it being 2 years before the race. 

I would be in the 9%, in fact.

This is a rerun race; most people have already made up their minds. For most elections, polls are useless this far out, but I would pay attention to polls of rerun races even so far in advance.

Exactly.  It's not the undecideds; it's the amount of time before the election.    After all, a few months ago, Gregoire was BEHIND Rossi.
