Constantine leads Hutchison in new KING-5 poll
Posted by Keith Ervin
A new KING-5 poll out today says Dow Constantine has erased Susan Hutchison's earlier lead and gained a 10-percentage point lead in the race for King County executive.
The poll of 614 likely voters and voters who have already mailed in their ballots showed Constantine ahead with 53 percent, while Hutchison trailed with 43.
A KING-5 poll conducted three weeks earlier had Hutchison leading by 5 percentage points. The latest sampling was done Friday and Saturday by SurveyUSA.
Constantine is chairman of the Metropolitan King County Council. Hutchison, a former TV news anchor, is executive director of the Charles Simonyi Fund for Arts and Sciences.
KING posted the poll results on its Web site, then pulled the story because it wasn't scheduled to be posted until 5 p.m., the station's newsroom reported.
Ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday or put in a 24-hour ballot drop box by 8 p.m. Tuesday.
