New Polling Shows a Tight Oregon Governor’s Race
The survey of 915 likely voters found 47% backing Drazan and 46% backing Kotek, with 5% still undecided.
- A recent Oregon Public Broadcasting/DHM Research survey of 915 likely voters shows a near-deadlock in the race for Oregon governor, with Republican state Sen. Christine Drazan at 46% and Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek at 44%.
- Voters are prioritizing economic concerns like cost of living, housing, and high taxes, a shift from the crime and homelessness focus that dominated the 2022 matchup between Kotek and Drazan.
- Drazan faces a fundraising disparity with less than $1 million on hand, compared to more than $8 million in Kotek's war chest, with the poll's 3.24% margin of error reflecting the race's volatility.
- Kotek has sought to link Drazan to President Donald Trump, while campaign consultant Trey Rosser claimed Oregonians are "fed up" with the incumbent's leadership record.
- With 8% of voters undecided, DHM Research senior vice president John Horvick noted the outcome depends on whether Drazan can win over left-leaning independents to overcome historical Democratic performance.
