Is A Republican About to Win the Governor’s Race In This Long-Time Blue State?

Long-time readers know we’ve been covering the collapse of the Democrat Party since President Trump decimated Kacklin’ Kamala after she spent an eye-watering $1.5 billion trying to buy the presidency. Things have only gotten worse for her and her domestic terrorist party since.

The party is polling lower than whale dung, and the only thing Democrats are offering is Trump Derangement Syndrome. They have no plans, no ideas, no policies to actually help the country, and the only ones they are offering, like “billionaire’s taxes,” are driving more people away.

That is likely why Republicans are starting to show some life in historically blue hellholes like Oregon. Could it be that a growing number of voters are tired of the Democrat clown show?

Chris Dudley, a Republican candidate for Oregon governor, has emerged as the leader in a recent hypothetical general-election poll against incumbent Democrat Tina Kotek.

Dudley, who has never held elected office, brings a background as a former professional athlete and private-sector executive. He played 16 seasons in the NBA, six of which were spent with the Portland Trailblazers.

After retiring from basketball in 2003, Dudley pursued a business career. He co-founded Filigree Wealth Advisors, a wealth management firm, and later served as board chairman and chief executive officer of Diabetomics, a medical diagnostics company. He also founded the Chris Dudley Foundation, a nonprofit focused on supporting children with diabetes, and held the position of treasurer for the NBA Players Association.

A new poll, which was commissioned by Dudley’s campaign and conducted by the Portland-based Hoffman Research Group, surveyed 603 likely general-election voters from May 11-12 and carried a margin of error of +/- four percentage points.

In the head-to-head matchup, Dudley received 48 percent support compared with 44 percent for Kotek. A separate hypothetical pairing showed state Sen. Christine Drazan of Canby, a Republican, tied with Kotek at 45 percent each.

The survey also found that 53 percent of respondents held an unfavorable view of Kotek, while 33 percent viewed her favorably. In addition, 58 percent of those polled said Oregon is headed in the wrong direction.

Granted, I wouldn’t pop the champagne cork just yet, but given that GOP gubernatorial candidate and former Fox News host Steve Hilton is doing equally well one state down in California, it could be we are seeing a historic moment: The death of the most destructive party in the history of America.

Gee. What a shame, huh?
