Oregon voters are turning on Democrats as they sour on both President Biden and Democrat Gov. Kate Brown, a DHM Research survey found.
The survey comes as Democrats struggle to get a handle on rampant crime in the U.S. in the second year of Biden’s presidency and months ahead of the midterm elections. Notably,Overall, 73 percent of Oregon voters say the state is headed down the wrong track, and homelessness, government/leadership,
crime, public safety, and lack of law enforcement are among the top issues for Oregon voters for their state. While just six percent say jobs/the economy is the most important problem facing the state, 62 percent say the economic conditions in Oregon are getting worse, and 55 percent say they are worried about their financial situation.
Perhaps most notable is the fact that Oregon voters choose a Republican over a Democrat for governor on a generic ballot, 47 percent to 29 percent. Even when an independent is thrown in the mix, Republicans still have the plurality with 26 percent, compared to 21 percent for the independent and 16 percent for the Democrat on the generic ballot.
The survey was taken February 17-23, 2022, among 600 Oregon voters. It has a +/- 4 percent margin of error.
