Good news…

…from WA-04, via Alan at the Northwest Progressive Institute.

Only one in five voters (22%) say they will "definitely vote to reelect Hastings." Another quarter (28%) say they will "probably vote to reelect Hastings." Hastings' combined reelect of 50% is extremely weak for a six-term incumbent and suggests that he is genuinely vulnerable.

Richard Wright hasn't received as much buzz as Darcy Burner and Peter Goldmark, and the perception that his race is tougher is probably sound, but he's been working tirelessly, and, given this new poll, apparently effectively. What's becoming clear is that the more people know about Wright, the more they like him, and while Doc Hastings is very well known, he's not all that secure.

Of course, getting the word out to the folks in the 4th costs a lot of money (it's another one of those expansive rural districts). If we don't win this one, it shouldn't be for lack of grassroots financial support. We have the tools to prevent that.

Like this one.
