This poll is obvious junk. But the Oregon GOP probably nominated the right candidate in the wrong year. They went with severely conservative Republicans in 2010/2014 when they actually had a chance, then chose a moderate in a Dem wave year, lol. Buehler probably would've won in 2010 or 2014. Just look at how liberal RINO Knute is. He even brags about it in his ads! He's like the Republican version of Kyrsten Sinema.

Good Point 'Spear....
Way I see it, is that he will maintain Trump level support in parts of Downstate Oregon (Eastern and Rural/Small-Town Southern Oregon), with some possible expansions in the Rogue River Valley (Grants Pass > Medford > Ashland corridor), and possibly parts of Deschutes County....
Metro PDX--- Clackamas County might well flip, but it's not looking we are seeing the numbers in the potentially "swingier" parts of Suburban PDX...
Mid-Valley I suspect will be relatively static since Trump already maxed out the rural and small-town precincts, and plus "running against Salem" in many parts of CD-05 doesn't play so well...
Plus he's a 'Pub Gov in Oregon running at a time where a Rep Pres Fav numbers are scrapping gutter, and OR-NAVs are a key part of that equation....
Maybe he should have run as an IND, LBT or GRN
?
