It seems people who don’t have to go downtown have been coming to downtown Eugene less frequently. “Weekly” trips have shifted to “monthly” and “rarely.”

METHODOLOGY: 200 telephone interviews of City of Eugene likely general election voters were conducted the nights of June 1-2, September 21-22, and December 1-2, 2015. The margin of error at the median is 7%. Figures may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

It’s clear that Lane County government, as with the City of Eugene, is not perceived as doing a good job handling the homeless protesters.

However, it’s probably not a good idea to read this that the county should give in to the homeless protesters. SLEEPS is not seen favorably http://lindholmcompanyblog.com/?p=9804 And neither is expanding homeless camping:  http://lindholmcompanyblog.com/?p=9424

The public narrowly opposes the EWEB Smart Meter program.

Particularly noteworthy is the quarter of likely voters who have no opinion. Typically, one would expect a “don’t know” around 10 percent or so. This high percentage of “don’t knows” implies that there is still very little general knowledge about this issue. Certainly there is not enough to make a decision.

QUESTION: Do you support or oppose EWEB’s smart meter program?
