OR-Emerson: Wyden +17

[Senator Cris]

In the US Senate Election, 51% plan to support Democrat Ron Wyden and 34% support Jo Rae Perkins. Three percent plan to support progressive candidate Chris Henry and 8% are undecided.

Interesting poll in that although I am skeptical that Wyden will win by 17%, in this poll he is barely above 50% running against a PUB "Q-Nut", and ultimately I suspect many PUB leaning voters might just put some clothespins on their noses and vote for the cray cray to "stick it to Biden", despite Wyden's solid record when it comes to things like constituent services, representing Oregon in DC, and generally staying a bit away from the OR "hot topic" buttons, and as the Senior Senator from OR is generally given a bit more leeway than Merkley who is considered a bit more of a polarizing Senator, despite his downstate Oregonian "roots of raising" and all that...

Suspect likely to be more like a Wyden +12-15% win, but much of that depends on PDX and 'Burbs and overall voter TO numbers.

For the record we do see Wyden campaign ads on the TV even here in downstate OR, although could be Wyden trying to boost overall DEM FAVs by spending some of his campaign $$$ to remind OR voters about the good things DEMs have done since the 2020 GE win and the trifecta...

Expected, but delicious.

I don't think Wyden wins by this much, but a win is a win, and a win by double digits all the sweeter.

Christine Drazan is going to carry Jo Rae Perkins over the line. 48.2 for Perkins and 46.2 for Wyden, naturally.
