Washington: Wa-4

An internal poll paid for by the George Fearing (D-Richland) campaign shows an unexpectedly close race in Central Washington's 4th Congressional District.

The poll showed Fearing trailing Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Pasco) by five points, 52.5 percent to 47.5 percent.  Undecided was not an option in the question.

403 likely voters were randomly dialed in the poll, done by the Bainbridge Media Group, and it carries a margin of error of +/- 6.8 percent.
