38% : "By all objective metrics, the death penalty is a failed policy," said Singh.
36% :"Oregon enters a new era today where the values that make our state better come to the forefront and we leave behind the death penalty of a cruel past," he added.
15% : Brown told Oregon Public Broadcasting that she believes the death penalty is "both dysfunctional and immoral.""Justice is not advanced by taking a life, and the state should not be in the business of executing people -- even if a terrible crime placed them in prison," said the governor, who is term-limited and will be replaced by Gov.-elect Tina Kotek, also a Democrat who opposes capital punishment, next month.
