In October 12-21 poll run by SurveyUSA, Darcy Burner is showing a 4 point lead over Reichert, this represents the first lead for Burner in the race with less than 2 weeks left until election day. Reichert has enjoyed leads as big 10 on September 8-10 and in a Research 2000 poll 8 on 10/05-07. This is a seat democrats are not exactly expecting to pick up but the change in polls may represent a good momentum shift for Burner who has raised more money than Reichert but has been questioned as to where all the money came from, some republicans indicating perhaps some donars outside of the 8th district contributed. A recent visit by Burner to Tacoma Rally by Joe Biden who gave a stump speech for the Washington governor and Burner. And finally according to and article posted on TheHill.com, Burner has also benefited from the money the Democratic party and specifically in her case the Democratic Congressional Campaign Commitee who paid for an ad against Reichert.
