SurveyUSA: 8th district still a barnburner

The 8th Congressional district is still tight according to a SurveyUSA poll released yesterday. It shows incumbent Rep. Dave Reichert [R-Auburn] leading opponent Darcy Burner [D-Carnation] by a margin of 50 to 47, virtually unchanged since their poll in late September where Reichert "led" 50-48. Both of these lie easily within the margin of error of 4.7%. Intriguing demographics from poll crosstabs include:

-Gender gap: Reichert wins men by 18 points, Burner wins women by 13 points.
-Partisan sampling: 39R/38D/22I, Burner wins self-described Independents 52-42, as well as self-described moderates, by 56-43.
-Bush approval: Reichert retains 21% who disapprove of President Bush's performance, contrasted with only 3% approving Bush in support of Burner.
