A majority of Oregon voters disapprove of the ongoing unrest in Portland, according to a new poll, and a plurality want police to use more force against demonstrators.

By a margin of more than two to one, more Oregon voters disapprove of the protests in Portland than approve of them, 66 percent to 31 percent, according to the DHM Research survey of 502 voters in the state.
