In a new poll Larry Grant(D) has pulled ahead of Bill Sali (NR = Nutcase Republican) by 4 percentage points. When "soft" support is factored out, Grant's lead grows to 6%. A week ago, Sali led by 2%, so the trend sure looks good. In this poll 25% are still undecided, which is a large number this late in a campaign. One theory is that most of these are Republicans who rarely if ever vote for a Democrat but are none too happy about voting for Sali, who is way off the rails both personally and politically. There could be a whole lot of GOP abstentions, which indirectly helps Grant.
The Otter-Brady Governor's race is also looking good. Democrat Brady has now opened up a 5-point lead over Otter. Again, up until this point, Otter had a slight lead. If this momentum holds, deep red Idaho will be turming a shade of purple!
