Survey: Brown and Buehler tied for governor
voters could sway the results.
The governor’s race
was just one of 25 ques-
tions posed to the survey
participants.
Gravis has a 67 percent
accuracy in calling races,
according to Nate Silver’s
FiveThirtyEight.
For example, in January
2016, a Gravis Marketing
poll got a Maryland congres-
sional race wrong by 96 per-
centage points, according to
“The Fix” from the Washing-
ton Post.
This is the second time
that Buehler has attempted
to unseat Brown from a
statewide elected position.
In 2012, he challenged her
for the office of secretary of
state and lost with 43.2 per-
cent of the vote compared
with Brown’s 51.3 percent.

Likely voters appear to
be evenly divided in the race
for governor between Dem-
ocrat Gov. Kate Brown and
Republican Rep. Knute Bue-
hler, according to the first
public results of a survey,
or poll, since the May 15
primary.
The random online sur-
vey of 770 registered vot-
ers, considered likely to cast
a ballot in the Nov. 6 general
election, was performed by
Gravis Marketing, a nonpar-
tisan research firm that has
been repeatedly scrutinized
for inaccurate results.
The survey was con-
ducted July 16-17 and was
weighted by voting demo-
graphics. Gravis reported
Rep. Knute Buehler
Gov. Kate Brown
paying for the survey and
gave it a margin of error of
3.5 percent.
About 45 percent of those
surveyed indicated they
would vote for Brown; the
same percentage said they
would vote for Buehler. Ten
percent of respondents were
uncertain.
The campaigns for both
candidates declined com-
ment on the survey.
Patrick Starnes, the Inde-
pendent Party of Oregon
nominee, and other third-
party nominees for gover-
nor were not offered as an
option, so it’s unclear how
undecided and third-party
Judge hears arguments over endangered sucker fish
nia farmer Ben DuVal filed
to intervene in the tribes’
lawsuit. They argue an
injunction would have a dev-
astating effect on local agri-
culture, and claim there is no
scientific evidence linking
higher water levels in Upper
Klamath Lake with healthier
sucker populations.
Both the shortnose and
Lost River suckers — known
to the tribes as C’waam and
Koptu — were listed as
endangered in 1988.
The tribes’ lawsuit, filed
in May, claims the bureau
continues to operate the
Klamath Project “in a man-
ner inimical to the contin-
ued existence and ultimate
recovery of the C’waam and
Koptu and in direct violation
of the (Endangered Species
Act).”
Don Gentry, tribal chair-
man, said the intent is not to
harm agriculture, but to do
what is necessary to protect
the fish.
If the Klamath Tribes suc-
ceed with their injunction for
more water in Upper Klam-
ath Lake, Johnson said it
would essentially shut down
surface water irrigation for
about 360 square miles in the
project.

SALEM — A federal
judge heard arguments in
a case filed by the Klamath
Tribes of southern Oregon
seeking greater protections
for endangered sucker fish in
Upper Klamath Lake.
San Francisco District
Judge William Orrick lis-
tened to the arguments Fri-
day in a lawsuit that requests
an injunction to hold more
water in the lake for short-
nose and Lost River suck-
ers, a culturally significant
food for the tribes, the Cap-
ital Press reported.
However, farmers and
ranchers worry the injunc-
tion would shut off surface
water irrigation in the Klam-
ath Project, costing about
$400 million in lost annual
economic value.
Orrick did not issue a
ruling, and is considering
a motion to move the case
to a different court. He did
not give a timetable for his
decision.
The non-ruling means irri-
gators in the Klamath Project
will be allowed to continue
watering their crops — for
now, said Mark Jackson,
deputy director of the Klam-
