A new poll shows that Oregon voters are extremely dissatisfied with the state’s K-12 education system and would overwhelmingly support school choice.
Of 727 registered voters polled on June 1, just 25 percent of Democrats, 9.7 percent of Republicans, and 14.1 percent of independents believe that Oregon’s public K-12 education system is on the right track.
