Oregonians have retained a sunny outlook about their state and future in spite of the grim health and economic
effects of the pandemic and grueling public health measures to control it, according to a new survey commissioned by the state’s largest business lobbying group.
“Optimism in the economy has declined, which we would expect, but people are very optimistic about the future,” said pollster Bob Moore of Moore Information Group. “Despite what’s going on, it doesn’t have them down.”
