The results from Hannon Library’s Straw Poll are in!
In case you missed it, the Hannon’s Government Publications hosted an anonymous straw poll last week where anyone could contribute their unofficial vote for today’s election.
So what direction are campus opinions leaning? First, let’s take a look back to the Super Tuesday Primary Straw Poll held back in the spring, where campus participants could indicate their preferred presidential candidate. The results showed that poll responders strongly favored Bernie Sanders for the White House, with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump trailing along for second and third places.
Now, with Bernie out of the running, what does that mean for our participants? Well, he didn’t leave the scene, finding his way into our results as a write-in vote among 10% of participants. In fact, Bernie Sanders tied with Republican candidates Donald Trump and Mike Pence, as well as the Green Party’s Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka. Democrat candidates Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine took the win with 66% of votes. Coming in last at 4% were Libertarian candidates Gary Johnson and Bill Weld.
And that’s our story! We want to thank everyone who participated in both polls, and we encourage everyone to vote. Jackson County residents that still need to turn in their ballots have until 8:00 PM tonight to drop off their ballot in an official drop box.
The Hannon Library Government Publications Straw Poll is solely an academic activity to promote civic awareness. Southern Oregon University and Hannon Library do not endorse any particular candidate, political party, or ideological perspective, nor do we seek to influence actual election outcomes. We encourage civil discourse and ask participants to be respectful of all viewpoints.

From Southern Oregon to Syria: An Oregon Woman Volunteers
Events & ProgramsThursday, November 10
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Meese Room
Rogue Valley native Taylor Olson-Hill has spent the last four years working on international humanitarian projects in Cambodia, Haiti, and most recently in Greece aiding the refugees fleeing from the war in Syria. Passionate, engaged and fascinating, the stories of her work in the Syrian refugee crisis on the Greek island of Lesvos tell the truth about working inside a refugee camp: from sorting clothes in a warehouse, to acting as a peacekeeper between refugees and locals. In this presentation, she will dispel misconceptions about refugees and the crisis, and talk frankly about the hidden cost of volunteering in Greece.
This event is sponsored by the Friends of Hannon Library and is free and open to the public. Get free campus parking for this event by going to any campus parking meter and using this code: FHL1110
