The recent Rasmussen poll showing a near-dead heat between Gov. Ted Kulongoski and Republican nominee Ron Saxton (43-41 percent) raised more questions than it answered because 10 percent of those polled were undecided. Independent candidate Ben Westlund was not included in the poll because he has not qualified for the ballot yet, though seven percent of the respondents volunteered they were voting for someone other than Kulongoski or Saxton.
