_[10]WA-Gov looks like a toss up
Public Policy Polling – May 18, 2011
The race to be the next Governor of Washington- assuming Christine Gregoire
retires- looks like a toss up. Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna leads
Democratic Congressman Jay Inslee 40-38 in PPP's first look at the match up,
but with 23% of Democrats undecided compared to only 13% of Republicans
Inslee would likely make up that small deficit pretty fast once he got into
a statewide campaign.
