The fact that over 20% of voters are still unsure about both Democrats in favorability is not good news for Smith as it likely means their name recognition is still much lower than his.

Is their a favorite for the primary between Novick and Merkley?

The latest polling has it basically tied at 30% to 28%. I have a feeling Merkley is going to win out in the end though

And an FYI to anyone not following the race closely, Novick has a hook hand

Novick's actually doing surprisingly well in polling and endorsements, considering he's never been elected to anything and Merkley is the speaker of the state house.

But it's good to see that the race is close.

Also I think Novick is extremely short (like 4-10 or something...)
It would be fun to see him in the senate.

Why are the GOP senators doing so sucky recently?

I'll just note that there is a Democratic primary coming up soon in Oregon and this may affect the result (Democrats being more fired up).
