Our recent poll shows Oregon
voters support annual sessions for the state legislature by more
than a two-to-one margin. Today, 52% of voters statewide tell
us they would vote “yes” to support a ballot measure
that would change Oregon’s legislative schedule to annual
sessions. Just 23% would vote “no” and the remaining
25% are undecided.
There are notable differences of opinion by subgroup, primarily
by geography and partisanship. For example, in Multnomah County,
annual sessions are favored more than three-to-one (60% to 18%).
Voters in the Willamette Valley are in favor by a smaller, two-to-one
margin (52% to 26%), but there is only plurality support in Clackamas
and Washington Counties (46% yes, 25% no) and the Southern/Coastal/Eastern
regions (50% yes, 23% no). By party, Republicans and Independents
are far less enthused than Democrats on this issue.
