As we recently noted, Democrats are pouring millions of dollars into the Washington state senate race to defend Patty Murray from an upset win by Republican Tiffany Smiley.
A new poll from the Trafalgar Group finds the race in a dead heat with Murray ahead by just one point.
The Lynnwood Times reports:
New polls show Smiley now ties Murray leading into second Senate debateAccording to a post-debate Trafalgar Group poll, Republican candidate Tiffany Smiley is in a statistical tie to unseat 30-year Democratic incumbent Patty Murray, which if successful, will add to the projected GOP-controlled Senate majority.The polling firm surveyed 1,207 likely General Election voters between October 25th to 28th just days after the first Smiley-Murray debate, and with a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points, Smiley has gained 2 points to poll at 48.2% to Murray’s 49.4% — a statistical tie. FiveThirtyEight gives Trafalgar Group an “A-” as one of the most accurate pollsters in the country.This was the largest survey to date of any publicly released poll according to RealClear Politics with party affiliation at 44.2% Democrat, 33.4% Republican, and 22.4% No Party/Other. Approximately 80% of participates were white and 53.1% of all respondents identified as female.
This is stunning news.

Breitbart News points to another recent poll which finds the candidates tied:
Republican Tiffany Smiley has caught up with 30-year incumbent Democrat Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) and is now tied in the race to Represent Washington in the U.S. Senate, according to two new polls.A Moore Information Group (MIG) poll released Monday found that Smiley is tied with Murray at 46 percent. Interestingly, Smiley is up two percentage points since MIG’s September poll, While Murray lost two points since last month.The MIG poll found that eight percent of Washington voters remain undecided ahead of the upcoming midterm election. However, those undecided voters do not look friendly toward Murray, according to the pollster, because 80 percent of undecided voters think the country is on the “wrong track.”
If Smiley pulls out a win here, it will be nuclear.
