Sarah Iannarone, a self-described Antifa follower, is ahead in her bid to unseat Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler in a poll of likely voters.
The poll, conducted for the Portland Business Alliance, showed Lannarone leading with 41 percent to Wheeler’s 30 percent. The remaining 29 percent is split between those who want to write in a candidate (16 percent) and undecided likely voters (13 percent).
Willamette Week reported on the poll, which has a plus or minus four percentage points margin of error:
The results are somewhat surprising given that Iannarone finished more than 20 points behind the mayor in the primary, in which Wheeler nearly received the 50 percent-plus one of votes required to avert a runoff.
At the same time, Wheeler has faced intense criticism throughout the summer for his handling of protests and policing. And another recent poll, conducted on behalf of a City Hall police accountability measure, had Wheeler at 26% favorability, the Oregonian reported.
The DHM phone survey, conducted from Sept. 17 to 22, also found that all the city and county measures presented to Portland voters are likely to pass. These include tax measures to build new libraries, maintain parks and renovate school buildings, as well as fund tuition-free preschool.
The Willamette Week report said that the Wheeler campaign believes internal polls that show he will win.
Danny O-Halloran, Wheeler’s campaign spokesman, said:
Our internal polling shows that we’re in position to win and that we have a clear path to victory. Most voters are just tuning in to this race, and that’s why such a large number of respondents in this poll are undecided. We are confident that once voters have the opportunity to get to know both candidates, these numbers move decisively in Ted’s direction.
“Iannarone tweeted the story, and says she now expects ‘opponents of progress to do everything they can to try and block this historic grassroots campaign,’” Willamette Week reported.
To those who say Antifa are violent thugs: I am not a violent thug and I am Antifa.
I am Antifa because the Red Hats are coming after brown & black people, after Jews, after queeer & trans people, and more.
They are coming after our democracy. #HolocaustMemorialDay #NeverForget
