In Washington State, the latest polls are showing Democrat Dino Rossi dead even with the state’s current senator Patty Murray. Other states find themselves in similar close races for Senate seats, including Wisconsin, West Virginia, Nevada, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Alaska, Florida, and California.
For the Gubernatorial races, in which Republicans seem to be slightly favored, candidates also find themselves in neck-and-neck battles with their opponents. California, Oregon, Minnesota, Connecticut, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, Vermont, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Ohio, Maryland, New Mexico, Connecticut, and Texas all appear to have close races. It will really come down to every individual vote on Election Day 2010.
“There are so many close races in Florida alone, it could really go either way, and it’s rather exciting,” said 83-year-old Mary McGrath of Miami Florida.
Voters everywhere really seems to be getting into the races this year. By looking that the political polls, one can see why. Remember, “every vote counts,” and this year that statement may be even more true than in years past.
