Incumbent Democrat Rick Larsen advanced from the August top-two primary with nearly 45% of the vote against Republican Edwin Feller's 33% in Washington's 2nd congressional district, a seat rated solid or safe Democratic by major forecasters. The district's consistent left-leaning presidential results and Larsen's long tenure anchor expectations for a substantial victory margin. With no public polls released since the primary and mail voting just opened in mid-October, trader consensus clusters tightly across Democrat margin buckets from the low 30s to mid-40s, reflecting uncertainty over turnout patterns, mail-ballot dynamics, and any late shifts in voter enthusiasm ahead of the November 3 general election.
