New OR-5 Poll: Likely Democratic Party Primary Voters Overwhelmingly Support Term Limits on Congress.
McLeod-Skinner Ahead as the Only Term Limits Pledge Signer in the Race.
Washington, DC – According to a new poll conducted by RMG Research, an overwhelming 81% of the likely Democratic Party Primary voters approve of an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that will place term limits on U.S. Senators and U.S. House Representatives.
The poll, which was conducted from November 14-17, also finds that McLeod-Skinner currently leads the field with 41% of the vote. 44% of Democratic Party primary voters indicated they were undecided. However, when voters were asked who they would support if they knew McLeod-Skinner backed congressional term limits, she leaps ahead to a 51% majority since voters are more likely to select the term limits candidate.
When asked how many terms members of the U.S. House should serve, 73% indicate they favor term limits of eight years or less.
The survey of 300 registered voters in Oregon’s 5th congressional district was conducted online by RMG Research, Inc. in November 2023 using a representative sample to reflect the district’s population of registered likely Democratic Party primary election voters. It has a margin of error of +/- 5.7 percentage points. RMG Research is owned and operated by Scott Rasmussen.
