OLYMPIA -- Washington state, once considered a fiercely competitive presidential battleground, is firmly in Democrat John Kerry's column heading into the final weeks of a volatile campaign, according to new polls.

Kerry, who considers the three West Coast states a key part of his electoral math to defeat President Bush, led the Republican president 51 percent to 42 percent among Washington respondents, according to a poll commissioned by The Columbian newspaper of Vancouver, Wash.

In the latest Elway Poll, Kerry leads 52 percent to 38 percent.

The Elway Poll also shows that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Christine Gregoire leads her GOP opponent Dino Rossi 49 percent to 38 percent and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., has a commanding lead over her Republican opponent, Rep. George Nethercutt. Murray leads 57 percent to 37 percent.
