Smith’s Disapproval Numbers Soar
Smith’s approval and disapproval numbers are now in a statistical dead heat. His approval rating slides as Oregonians learn more about his consistent support for the Iraq War and his pro Bush, anti-choice, anti-environment record.
The more Oregonians get to know U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith’s (R-OR) votes, the more they disapprove of his performance.
The number of Oregonians who disapprove of Smith’s record has risen to 45 percent, according to a new poll from SurveyUSA. That’s a six point jump from the May poll and a 15 point jump from January.
The same poll showed his approval rating sliding to 47 percent. That’s down one point from last month and 11 points since January.
Smith’s approval and disapproval numbers are now in a statistical dead heat.
"Oregonians will not stand for a representative who says he opposes the Iraq War, but votes more than 20 times to authorize and fund it," DPO Executive Director Trent Lutz said. "Oregonians will not support an elected official who votes with President Bush 90 percent of the time, earns a 15 percent score from pro-choice advocates and a 14 percent score from environmental advocates."
