DHM pulling an Emerson with all these undecideds.
Still a Safe D race, of course.
If a Republican was up 5, would you call it a Safe R race?
If it was a Republican version of Oregon, yes. There is absolutely no way Kate Brown is losing in a Democratic wave year in a solidly Democratic state.
I'm not arguing that she's going to lose, but I think there's a double standard for reading polls when a Republican is midly ahead versus a Democrat. So, if an incumbent Republican governor was up by 5 in Indiana or Missouri with 17% undecided, would it be safe R?
