Oregon voters disapprove of Portland protests, feel police aren’t using enough force, poll finds
The Oregonian ^ | September 10th, 2020 | By Everton Bailey Jr.

A majority of Oregon voters disapprove of the ongoing nightly protests in Portland and believe officers haven’t used enough force in their response, according to a poll released Thursday.

Those findings, released by Portland-based DHM Research, came hours after Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced he was ordering Portland police officers to stop using a particularly toxic form of tear gas after lawsuits over its deployment, its repeated use on people not engaged in criminal conduct and some not involved in the protests at all, and widespread demands from the community and elected officials to end the practice.

The poll of 502 likely voters was conducted from last Thursday to Tuesday. Nearly half of the participants said they lived in either Multnomah, Clackamas or Washington counties. Another quarter of them live elsewhere in the Willamette Valley and the rest are from other parts of the state. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

66% are opposed to the "protests" and a plurality want more force applied.

This puts Oregon in play for the POTUS election.

We will see if that opposition translates to votes.

If they elect more democrats then they deserve whatever befalls them.

502 voters?
Not sure this poll provides a very accurate assessment of how Oregonians view the protests, but sure hope I’m proved WRONG!

It’s the Democrats controlling and limiting the police.

There’s the problem.

Well maybe 502 were all they could get to take the poll since the rest are most likely burned to death because of the arson fires.

Be careful with the delicate snowflakes, and remember each one of them is unique in the universe.

Do they understand that the mayor is inhibiting the police?

If this poll had included folks in the more rural parts of Oregon, the 66% would be 86%
