WA-SurveyUSA: McKenna+1

[Miles]

It's the same crap every time in WA state.  The GOP starts out ahead in the Gov race and then their candidate either self-destructs or the democrats come home in the end.  It's unreal.

This. Even later in the 2010 cycle, Rossi was leading Murray in some polls and she still won by almost 5 on election day.

Yeah, but this year is different.  They have an unpopular outgoing Democratic governor, a Democratic president running for reelection, and the fact that Dems have controlled the governor's office there for 28 years.  That alone hurts their chances of holding on.  McKenna's lead may have dropped recently, but I think that it's temporary and he will ultimately win it all.
