A new study shows that nearly 12% of Republican voters fall into the “shy voter” category, meaning they would be reluctant to disclose to pollsters their true preferences for who they would vote for.

A new study shows that nearly 12 percent of Republican voters fall into the “shy voter” category, meaning they would be reluctant to disclose to pollsters their true preferences for who they would vote for in the presidential election and supporting the view that polls may not capture the full extent of support for President Donald Trump.

blames the killing of the Trump supporter on white supremacy, the pro-Trump rally & the president in a statement. She says the pro-Trump caravan “terrorized” Portland & makes no mention of antifa/BLM initiating violence.'''

PORTLAND, Ore. – Multnomah County Chair Deborah Kafoury issued a statement Sunday in response to the deadly shooting that took place in downtown Portland the previous night.
A man was shot and killed at about 8:45 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Southwest 3rd and Alder Street as a large protest and counter-demonstration were moving through the area.
According to the Associated Press and New York Times reporters from the scene, the man was white and had been wearing a hat with the logo of Patriot Prayer, a conservative group based in Vancouver, Washington led by activist Joey Gibson.
At this point, police have not said whether the shooting was connected to the protests occurring in the area.
On Sunday morning, Chair Kafoury released a statement about the shooting, saying in part, "those of us who believe in, and are working toward, a more just and equitable community must take an unequivocal stand against the violence that structural racism inflicts on Black and other people of color, against violence inflicted by police, and against violence between community members."
Mayor Ted Wheeler and Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell are expected to speak at noon Sunday to address the homicide and other violence at protests.
"Last night, an event that was clearly intended to intimidate, provoke and endanger individuals resulted in a fatality. The loss of life is tragic and unacceptable.
"We are witnessing the self-perpetuating cycle of violence fueled by white supremacy. We cannot forget that the protests Portland has seen for more than 90 days began in response to the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man who was then the latest victim of a long and horrendous history of police brutality against Black people, itself a feature of the systemic racism that poisons our country.
"While the overwhelming majority of protestors have engaged in non-violent demonstration to call for police accountability, racial justice and the dismantling of racist institutions, we have also seen instances of interpersonal violence, vandalism and destruction.
"Then last night — stoked by a president who has gone out of his way to demonize this city and encourage vigilantism in service to white supremacy and his own fragile ego — armed participants of a pro-Trump caravan terrorized downtown Portland, driving their vehicles and shooting paintballs and pepper spray directly at community members and journalists. They came to create confrontation and were able to do so.
"This tragedy will be used to justify escalating violence. It will be used to paint an entire movement with a broad and misleading brush. And sadly, it will be used by the occupant of the White House to deepen divisions and fear.
"Those of us who believe in, and are working toward, a more just and equitable community must take an unequivocal stand against the violence that structural racism inflicts on Black and other people of color, against violence inflicted by police, and against violence between community members.
"And the most effective way to do that is to stand for and build toward something better – to engage in the hard work of transforming the public safety system, ensuring equal opportunity and making tangible progress toward racial justice. Multnomah County is doing that work now, and we are wholly committed to the long-term work ahead."
