Governors

RealClearPolitics has polling averages for the nation's gubernatorial races. Accessed Monday, their map shows 23 Republican governors, 19 Democrat governors, and 8 toss-ups.

This is a slight decrease for the Democrats from last week, as the Oregon gubernatorial race has shifted from the "Leans Dem" category to the "toss-up category.

State level polling in Oregon has offered different conclusions as whether incumbent Democrat Kate Brown will defeat her Republican challenger Knute Buehler.

According to an OPB story last month, while the Hoffman Research Group of Portland put Brown up with a strong lead over Buehler, another poll conducted around the same time by Causeway Solutions of Washington, D.C. had Buehler ahead by 2 percentage points.
