News Briefs Poll shows close race in usual GOP stronghold BOISE — Republican and Democratic candidates in a few major Idaho political races are separated by just a few percentage points, according to a new statewide poll published Sunday of 625 voters who said they were likely to cast a ballot Nov. 7. U.S. Rep. C.L. “Butch” Otter, the GOP candidate for governor, leads Democrat Jerry Brady 44 percent to 43 percent, in the poll conducted on Oct. 23-25. The survey’s margin of error was four percentage points, making the race too close to call. Twelve percent of voters were unde- cided, while 2 percent said they’d choose third-party candidates, poll- sters found. In the 1st District congressional race on the west side of the state, Republican Bill Sali, an eight-term state legislator, leads 39 percent to 37 percent over Democrat Larry Grant, a former Micron Technology Inc. executive. The margin of error for that question was six percentage points, again too close to call. Idaho hasn’t had a Democrat in the governor’s mansion or in Congress since 1994. Democrats are outnumbered four-to-one in the state Legislature, and President Bush It’s Never Too Late to won more than two-thirds of state ballots in 2004.
