Our U.S. Senate race remains one of the closest in the country and a recent poll shows challenger Dino Rossi just slightly ahead of incumbent Patty Murray.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey in Washington shows Rossi with 48 percent of the vote and Murray with 46 percent. Three percent prefer a different candidate, and three percent are undecided.

In ten surveys conducted since January, the candidates have been within two points of each other seven times. Rossi has twice held a three-point advantage and Murray once had a four-point edge.

The margin of error for this survey is 3-points, so factoring that in, Rossi and Murray right now are neck and neck.
