OR-05: New Poll Shows Tight Primary Races

SurveyUSA (likely primary voters, 4/13-15):

Kurt Schrader (D): 23%

Steve Marks (D): 20%

Other/Undecided: 57%

(MoE: ±4.1%)

And on the GOP side

Mike Erickson (R): 44%

Kevin Mannix (R): 40%

Other/Undecided: 17%

(MoE: ±5%)

Not surprisingly, the undecided vote is much smaller among GOP voters.  Erickson was the 2006 nominee for this seat, while Mannix has run for a number of statewide offices in the past.  Former gubernatorial aide Steve Marks and state Sen. Kurt Schrader, on the other hand, have lower profiles.
