Poll Results

Gordon Smith cancels out Ron Wyden’s good work. That’s the part of Smith's 12-year record Oregonians expect the Republican U.S. Senator to sweep under the rug this campaign season. They declared their feelings in the Stop Gordon Smith Campaign's online poll.

Smith’s staunch opposition to a woman’s right to choose finished a close second in the poll.

The full results as of Thursday, May 29, 2008 at 11 a.m.:

157 votes for He cancels out Wyden’s good work. 134 votes for He opposes a woman’s right to choose. 126 votes for He’s a vending machine for votes. 102 votes for Even his supporters don’t trust him.

“Sadly, Gordon Smith’s record shows he’s an obstacle, not a partner to Ron Wyden,” DPO Chair Meredith Wood Smith said. “Gordon Smith will run around the state promoting the Smith Myth that he works with Wyden and challenges Bush, but Oregonians know better. Oregonians know Gordon Smith votes with President Bush 90 percent of the time and opposes Ron Wyden on the important issues facing Oregon. While Ron Wyden wants to lower the cost of prescription drugs for seniors and combat climate change, Gordon Smith cancels Wyden’s votes. While Ron Wyden protects a woman’s right to choose, Gordon Smith consistently and vehemently suppresses a woman’s basic right to choose.” Paid for by the Democratic Party of Oregon. Not authorize
