Larsen's Lead in WA-02 Grows More Solid

A new SurveyUSA poll shows WA-02 Democratic incumbent Rick Larsen with a huge lead over Republican Doug Roulstone 60% to 35%.

The poll was conducted between 10/2 and 10/4.

The poll results are little changed from a poll in August that showed Larsen with a 58% to 35% lead.

Republicans had great hopes for Roulstone. Timothy Goddard, now working for the McGavick campaign (which does make one question his judgement), wrote for Sound Politics in June 2005:

...it gives me great pleasure to say that Roulstone is a fantastic candidate, tailor-made for the 2nd District, and he has a fantastic shot at winning this contest.

Doesn't look that way Timmy. Roulstone wasn't even a good enough candidate to avoid having a Republican challenger in Teri Moats in the Primary, and she got over 22% of the Republican vote.

Looks like Larsen will be a shoo-in November 7th for a fourth term in D.C.
