EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Republican Christine Drazan leads Democratic Governor Tina Kotek in a new Oregon poll, threatening a historic blue state stronghold.
For nearly four decades, one of America’s most reliable Democratic strongholds has resisted every Republican attempt to reclaim its highest office, making the state’s political landscape seem almost impossible to change.
Now, a new poll suggests that historic streak may finally be in jeopardy, raising the possibility of one of the biggest political upsets of the 2026 election cycle and putting both parties on high alert months before voters head to the polls.
