Today the University of Washington released the latest polling results in four key Washington and Seattle races. The Washington Poll has Dow Constantine way out in the lead over Susan Hutchison in the race for King County Executive. Dow leads by a margin of 47 to 34 percent of likely voters. BUT, the poll also shows that there is a pretty large number of Undecideds (19%) that remain out there for the taking, more than enough to swing the race back in Hutch’s favor, so we think that this race is still far from decided. We’ve noticed a strong surge of advertising on the King County airwaves, a lot of it negative, so we’ll see where the Undecideds decide to break. We should also point out that the mid-October King 5/Survey USA poll had Hutchison with a 5 point lead over Dow with 11% Undecided. The Washington Poll has a larger sample size, and as the Seattle PI noted today, relies on interviews rather than robocalls.
