2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, MAY 11, 2018 Poll: GOP primary for governor getting closer Carpenter closes gap with Rep. Buehler By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau SALEM — A new poll by a Democratic polling firm suggests Sam Carpenter, the “Make Oregon Great Again” candidate, is edging up to state Rep. Knute Buehler in the race for the Republican nomination for governor. The survey by Global Strategy Group of 438 regis- tered voters who plan to vote in the GOP primary shows that 33 percent planned to vote for Buehler, while 25 percent favored Carpenter. Only 8 per- cent of respondents said they would vote for Greg Wool- dridge, a retired Navy aviator who lives in Portland. Thir- ty-three percent of respon- dents in the survey, taken Sam Carpenter Knute Buehler this month, said they were either undecided or refused to answer. The particularly conten- tious primary race will be decided Tuesday, and the win- ner will face off with Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat. “This is surprising that it has become a race for Bue- hler,” said Jim Moore, politi- cal science professor at Pacific University and director of the Tom McCall Center for Pol- icy Innovation. “It’s entirely because Buehler ran a cam- paign that didn’t seem to pay attention to the Republican electorate and now is having to play catch-up.” Rebecca Tweed, Buehler’s campaign manager, dismissed the significance of the new poll. “From the beginning, Knute Buehler has been focused on defeating Kate Brown and talking to Orego- nians all across this state who are ready for change,” Tweed wrote in an email. “There have been dozens of polls in MONDAY Youngs River Lewis & Clark Water District Board, 6 p.m., 34583 U.S. Highway 101 Business.

For those two days, the state will not require residents and nonresidents to have fish- ing licenses or tags. Other fishing regulations still apply, however, including closures, bag limits and size restrictions. “Free fishing weekends are a great opportunity for friends and families to get out and enjoy a day or two of fishing,” said Mike Gauvin, recreational fisheries manager with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, in a statement. “Trout, warmwater fish, ocean fishing, crabbing and clam- ming are just some of the great opportunities available.” The state schedules events at various sites in conjunction with free fishing days. Volun- teer angler instructors will be on hand, loaning out fishing gear and giving tips on how to catch and clean fish at most sites. Two events have been scheduled locally: at Coffen- bury Lake on June 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and at the Gnat Creek Fish Hatchery near Clatskanie from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oregon State Parks are also free to visit over this weekend. Day-use parking fees will be waived both days, and camp- ing will be free on June 2. An $8 reservation fee is required to guarantee a camping spot.

We are quite confident in where we are and that is why we haven’t responded. The ads have helped our campaign.” The Global Strategy Group poll results also showed that 82 percent of the respondents believe Brown is doing a “not so good” to “poor” job as the state’s chief executive. About 98 percent of the respondents were white. Half were men, and half were women. About 34 percent of participants had a college degree. The three Republican can- didates are scheduled to par- ticipate in their first and last debate together on the Lars Larson radio show today.

The Bend orthope- dic surgeon, who has served in the House since 2014, pre- viously had focused on defeat- ing the governor once he won the nomination. “When he ran ads against Sam Carpenter, that tells me that internal polling told them that they are in trouble,” Moore said. “He was running against Kate Brown before that. That was it, and all of a sudden, ‘Oh, I have to win this primary.’ The Trump backers and Sam Carpenter seem to be the main problem and that is why he is attacking Sam Carpenter.” The poll results are an addi- tional piece of evidence to ads online and on TV in which Buehler and Carpenter “are at each other throats” and shows “that Buehler really has not locked this up,” said Jeanne Atkins, chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Oregon. “Our internal polls show us leading Knute Buehler by Free fishing set for June PUBLIC MEETINGS TONIGHT this election with conflicting and contradicting numbers — the only poll that matters takes place on Tuesday. This is a left-leaning polling firm releasing data to help Kate Brown because they know Knute Buehler is the only can- didate who can defeat her.” Carpenter also questioned the accuracy of the poll, saying his internal polling shows he is ahead of Buehler. He said the poll’s sample size was small, and residents from urban areas were oversampled. It’s unclear who commis- sioned the poll. Politico first obtained and published the results. The results also were sent to the Democratic Party of Oregon, which shared it with Ore- gon-based reporters. The poll comes days after Buehler launched a new ad attacking Carpenter, a move that, political analysts said, showed that Buehler realized he might be in trouble in the W s pc r pc t r s c sh pc t s sh s c s s pc pc s pc t pc s s Hi 91 52 57 69 65 59 95 57 85 87 87 83 69 90 82 91 88 70 89 86 91 60 75 74 92 Sat.

False tsunami warning jolts West Coast, Alaska Associated Press JUNEAU, Alaska — Some Alaskans got a jolt when they heard an emergency radio and television broadcast indi- cating the entire West Coast, from San Diego to Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, was under a tsunami threat. Only at the end of the mes- sage sent early this morning did it indicate the alert was a test. The National Tsunami Warning Center says there is no tsunami threat. The tsunami center says it issued a routine test message at 7 a.m. the same way all tests are sent. Typically, the message says it’s a test at the beginning. It’s not clear why the version heard by Alaskans didn’t say it was a test until the end. The warning center told KTVA warning sirens may be going off in coastal areas. ON THE RECORD Assault • At 6:47 p.m. Thursday, Kristopher Michael Dean, 42, of Astoria, was arrested by Astoria police near the 350 block of Marine Drive and charged with second-degree assault, harass- ment and second-degree disorderly conduct. Dean allegedly struck a man several times with a walking staff. DUII • At 1:57 a.m. Thursday, John Newman, 53, of Cannon Beach, was arrested by Seaside police on Roosevelt Drive near Avenue K and charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants.
