A new poll commissioned by Oregon Public Broadcasting finds cost of living, the economy, healthcare and homelessness are the top issues for likely voters. The survey also shows Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and challenger Joe Braun locked in a neck-and-neck contest for Southwest Washington's competitive congressional district, underscoring how economic concerns may shape the outcome.

Why now: The swing district race is closely watched as a bellwether, and the poll's tight margin and issue rankings give voters and strategists fresh signals heading into the election.
