New York Post:
The majority of voters in progressive Oregon want to overturn the decriminalization of drugs — blaming the lenient approach for rising crime and homelessness.
The survey conducted last month by Portland-based firm DMH Research found that 51% of the 500 respondents felt that Measure 110 — which decriminalized the possession of personal amounts of drugs including heroin, meth and fentanyl — had a negative impact on the state.
More than 6 in 10 voters said they think the legislation has made drug addiction, homelessness and crime in the Beaver State worse.
