Who's smearing who?

From the Rasmussen reports: 10/3/08

The race for Washington’s next Governor is now a tie. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds incumbent Christine Gregoire and challenger Dino Rossi each attracting 48% of the vote.

Gregoire is viewed favorably by 51% and unfavorably by 47%. Her job performance is rated 43% good or excellent from voters, while 35% say she is doing a poor job.

Former State Senator Rossi’s ratings are 50% favorable, 48% unfavorable.

Over $30 million dollars has been spent on the Gubernatorial campaign - with additional contributions on the way.

It's unknown at this time if buildergate is having any impact on Rossi's favorable standing with voters.
