Independents, women leaning toward Gregoire

The state's gubernatorial battle may hinge on where voters live, their independent streaks and, most of all, their gender.

Democratic Attorney General Christine Gregoire is leading Republican former state Sen. Dino Rossi 49 percent to 43 percent among voters who have picked a favorite, according to a statewide poll conducted for The Herald.

Gregoire's edge stems from her support among self-described independents and women.

They include people such as Lillian Henriksen, 72, of Everett.

"To me, Rossi is an unknown," said Henriksen, one of those polled who leans toward Gregoire.

"I know her record," she said. "There are things she's done that I've thoroughly disagreed with, but I do think she's a good person at heart and has the interests of Washington at heart."
