The Swing State Project, a lefty leaning blog,  has some analysis of new poll numbers (from lefty leaning Public Policy Polling) on the Patty Murray v. Dino Rossi race, and no big surprise—it's close.

It's worth reading SSP's analysis, though, which is a bit pollyanna-ish on Murray and also includes the group's characterization of our top-two primary as "Washington's weirdo top-two primary."

And there's some bad news about the "weirdo" primary for Tea Party insurgent Clint Didier, according to SSP:

Faced with monumental name rec and financial deficits against Rossi, teabagger candidates Clint Didier and Paul Akers wound up more on the Chuck Purgason/Patrick Hughes side of the ledger rather than the Rand Paul/Sharron Angle end.

Here are the basic numbers from their poll:

Patty Murray (D-inc): 47
Dino Rossi (R): 33
Clint Didier (R): 10
Paul Akers (R): 4
Undecided: 6

Patty Murray (D-inc): 49
Dino Rossi (R): 46
Undecided: 5

Patty Murray (D-inc): 50
Clint Didier (R): 39
Undecided: 12
