Oregon Gov. Kate Brown positioned herself early on as a leader of the anti-Trump opposition, but the states never-ending panoply of protest activity has backfired on her re-election bid with voters suffering from resistance fatigue.
Ms. Brown, who was expected to coast to victory in deep-blue Oregon, has found herself deadlocked in the latest polls with state Rep. Knute Buehler, an affable orthopedic surgeon whose moderate brand of Republicanism is attracting crossover voters.
That includes Ben West, who supported Ms. Browns previous bid for office but was horrified by the mobs that shut down the Immigration and Custom Enforcement office in Portland for five weeks, leaving behind so much trash that the area was ultimately declared a biohazard.
What stuck with Mr. West was the sight of Occupy ICE protesters scaling the building, removing the U.S. flag, and waving the Antifa flag, a display he described as appalling.

if this poll is accurate, then it portends a larger national trend devastating to the Dems, which would REALLY YUGE ...
You’re right about that. Here in Oregon, every statewide election, the rural counties all report in their votes first and then the Portland counties report in late. Supposedly because there are more votes to count, but it smells off.
I remember a couple of governor elections ago it looked like the Republican candidate would sweep in with a 5% lead. Then Portland counts came in and he lost by 5%.
Turning out the vote is the only way we have to fight this.
Precisly why I posted it.
Poll in July, first poll in 6 months, shows them tied.

Let’s get this lesbian un-elected and put in a Republican!
Dems will lose broadly in the coming election.
Buehler is a Rino. Pro-abortion, pro-gay, accepts some gun control. Better than Brown, but not by much.
Even so, the fact that it’s this close has to be troublesome for the Dhimmicraps. if the GOP wins this in a deep blue state, it will signal a red wave, not a blue one.
That’s true. They’re creepy little totalitarians at heart...
How many times have Repubs seen this poll in Oregon only to lose by 5-10.
