A Strategic Vision poll tested 800 likely voters between 10/25-26 for a margin of error of +/- 3.5%. Governor Christine Gregoire was matched up against GOP ex-State Senator Dino Rossi.

General Election Matchup
Gregoire.......49 (+3 from last, 9/16)
Rossi..........47 (-1)

Neither candidate has been outside the margin of error in the four years Strategic Vision has been polling this race. That's the same as most national pollsters, as only two Evergreen State pollsters have shown significant leads for Gregoire. Republicans have long challenged both pollsters as weighting their polls unfairly toward Democrats.
