Here's a registration-free link to the same story, or if that still doesn't work, here's another link (scroll down to the "DUELING POLLS" item). It's actually a 30 point lead (including leaners... 55% say they're voting for her or inclined to do so, while 25% say they're voting for McGavick or inclined to do so). The pollster is Stuart Elway, who's a reputable brand name, although the MoE was a big +/-5% on a sample of 405. Anyway, I agree with your central point... stick a fork in McG; he's done.

In semi-related Northwest news, the latest Rasmussen poll shows Oregon's governor's race looking more comfortable for Ted Kulongoski, or, oddly enough, for Jim Hill, if he somehow beats Kulongoski in the primary. Kulongoski beats the most likely Republican nominee, Kevin Mannix, 51-36%; he also beats the other two Republicans, and Hill beats all the three Republicans too, although not by as wide a margin. (It doesn't poll either side's primary, and it doesn't factor in GOP-turned-Independent candidate Ben Westlund.)

You can re-edit your blog post to correct the link, some of the facts and maybe add some more substance to draw people to read the link.

 By the way... this poll makes me HAPPY but it is still to soon.

This is what the M$M doesn't get, and even our resident honchos here are too twice-bitten/thrice-shy to say (and who can blame them?)  But once the walls begin to crack so wide that nothing can patch them, the cracks all start to run together.  A massive landslide at the top of the ticket, and all sorts of people stay home and don't even vote down ticket.

Yes, I know that there are many more gerrymandered seats than there were in 1994, but this has all the makings of a classic realigning election. The Dems could go up 3-5 seats in the Senate and 20-30 in the House.  The GOP could lose a dozen statehouses, and 300 state legislative seats, or more.

I'm not saying for a moment to be complacent.  I'm saying, "Smell blood, and act like it."

Or, as Eno and Fripp would say, "No Pussyfooting".
