Nearly three-fourths of Portland voters believe their city is on the wrong track, according to a new poll commissioned by The Oregonian/OregonLive.
Only 13% of Portland voters said the city is headed in the right direction, according to the poll of 600 people conducted by DHM Research from Oct. 5 through Monday.
Residents in the three-county metro area who live outside of Portland were even more sour. Fully 84% said things in the Portland area are on the wrong track, while only 9% said they are headed in the right direction.
Southeast Portland resident Kierstin Buchner, who was among the poll respondents who said the city is on the wrong track, said she is frustrated with the city’s inability to address a sharp rise in homelessness and gun violence.
She said she sees needles and human feces on the sidewalk and garbage piling up near a homeless camp a block from her house and no longer feels safe walking her dog in the neighborhood. When the city has swept nearby camps, they’ve just popped up again a few blocks away, she said. Along with homelessness, she is concerned about the rise in homicides and rampant catalytic converter theft in Portland and finds herself wanting to leave the city where she grew up.
“Clearly, what we’ve been doing isn’t working and the people who have the power to make decisions aren’t making the right decisions,” said Buchner, 48. “I don’t know a single person who isn’t frustrated with the situation in Portland.”

Yep, with that I agree. We have two local gals doing news and weather on air complaining about high grocery and gas prices. I couldn't resist tweeting each saying if you are voting Democrat you have no right to complain.
You think you are on the wrong track, Portland voters? Look in the mirror for the reason why. You voted for the lunatics who allowed thugs and radicals to occupy your cities and to defund law enforcement. What the Hell did they think would happen?
Not sure what is wrong with westerners. Drugs? Everyone I meet west of Las Vegas acts like a zombi.
The majority of Portland voters brought it on themselves and their children when they elected a traitorous kakistocratic regime of Demonicrats. Now they get to experience the horrific nightmare.
I fully expected this response:
"Well, we were told that if we defunded the police, cut their staffing, took the police off the streets, didn't enforce laws on vagrancy or drug use, and kept the police away from the bad neighborhoods, the crime would go away! I sure thought it would, but things are out of control. I think this is a federal problem, and I think Trump and the Republicans caused it."
Natch.
Democrats must suffer and pay restitution!
I can’t stand it. I cannot stand hearing people who are fully onboard with this government idiocy, complaining about the effects of government idiocy they advocated for.
Translated:
Those who believe the city is ‘on the right track’ are terminally sick in the head and quantifiable (the 9 & 13%).
Funny how the ‘minority’ keeps voting in the same assholes. /s
Bell curve, half the people are not that bright.
“On the right track” to Portlandians is stuff paid for by others, unfettered rioting, and subsidized virtue whining.
All of these Democrat-controlled states are a complete disaster.
Vote for Leftists and you end up in a mess.
The people of Oregon got what they deserved for being stupid.
Remember, communists have to build walls and barbed wire fences to keep people from leaving.
Remember. When progressive democrats are upset and say something is on “the wrong track” they want even more progressive policies that caused the problems in the first place.
Take it and like it, libs
Ckearly the progressives aren’t doing enough. They should redouble their efforts to defund police, release violent criminals, seek social justice, ban self-defense, raise taxes, and institute diversity, equity, and inclusion. Then there will be utopia.
The Snowflakes can’t even pay their student loans, how the hell does anyone expect those retarded morons to drive the train.
