Morning Consult's gov favorability numbers are always way, way, way more positive than any other polls. So take the individual numbers with a heap of salt. However, in comparison among governors seeking re-election, Tina Kotek has the lowest approval rating. And by quite a lot.

8.2 points would be the largest margin since 1998 and the third largest margin since the Democratic streak started in 1986. 2022 +3.4 2018 +6.4 2016 +7.2 2014 +5.8 2010 +1.5 2006 +8.0 2002 +2.9 1998 +34.4 1994 +8.5 1990 +5.8 1986 +4.0
RACE RATING CHANGE: Oregon Governor Likely D → Lean D Gov. Tina Kotek remains favored to win re-election, but our model’s projected margin continues to narrow, now Kotek +8.2. Significant uncertainty remains due to limited polling in the race.
