A proposal approved by the Baker City Council Tuesday night will capitalize on a joint deal with the county to deliver a much-needed upgrade to a section of Pocahontas Road later this summer.

The City Council sanctioned an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGAl with the county to repave the road between 10th Street and the railroad tracks in September.

That stretch of Pocahontas has produced complaints from drivers recently.

"The county has got a lot of calls on Pocahontas because the travel lanes are in really bad shape," Baker County Commission Chairman Fred

Previously, the Postal Serviceproposed a plan toclose some smaller post offtces across the nation as a way to save money.

'The postal service, nationally, three years ago was looking at closing post offtces,n said Peter Hass, a spokesman for the Postal Service's Portland District.

"Trooper," as the Border collie mix came to be known, has undergone surgery to repair the damage to his fractured forelegs.

Staff at the Animal Clinic of Baker say he's got a long wayto go, but that he's off to a good start.

"He's doing really well," said Stephanie Lewis, the clinic's office manager. "He's really a sweet dog, (his situation) doesn't really seem to be bothering him.

Studebakertold Newman that the dog's owner asked her to watch the injured animal while she went to get her husband and a truck to haul the dog away.

Studebaker said she called police the next day because the dog'sowner failed to

Newman said he created the Facebook page on Aug. 4 or 5, as a way to improve the department's interaction with the public. He posted a photo of the dog and asked for help in locating the owner.

TURNING HACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 13, 1964 Photo: PREPARING — For new year prior to the start of school Aug. 31 at Baker High School is Principal Arthur A. Brown, who takes the place this year of Emmett Ritter, who resigned at the end of the 1963-64 school year to accept research assistantship at the University of Oregon.

Brown came to Baker from Casa Grande, Ariz., where he was principal in a school of 1,100 students for nine years.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 14, 1989 In four years at Baker High School, Kevin Logsdon left a lasting impression — literally — on many opponents.

Obviously, the East coaching staff read Logsdon's press clippings before Saturday's 37th annual East-West Shrine All-Star Football Game at Bulldog Memorial Stadium.

Logsdon played four positions in helping the East to a 16-0 shutout victory.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 13, 2004 When you had a tough logging Iob to do, you called Chuck Phegley.

And for 34 years he did every Iob with rare wisdom and uncommon care.

Phegley, a Baker County logger and a member of the Baker City Council, died this morning at St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise. He was 72.

"He kind of wrote the book about how to do things around here," said Joe Hessel, an Oregon Department of Forestry employee who oversees every timber harvest on private land in Baker County and ensures loggers follow Oregon's logging laws.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 22, 2013 The filmmakers gathered, eager to see their work on the big screen.

Most of them, anyway.

"If you're like me, you stare at your feet during the film festival,"Tyler Schlipf, 17, said, describing how he handled seeing "Party Life."

That film was one of 12 submitted in the second-annual "We Like 'Em Short" film festival Friday and Saturday at the Eltrym Theater.

ummer o rea in Summer vacation is perhaps the most hallowed and beloved of traditions for kids.

But it's not all fun and games.

While they're going to the beach and the swimming pool and the campground, students tend to forget some of what they learned during the previous school year.

We're not suggesting summer vacation be can-

celed.

But we're awfully glad Baker students have the option of REAL — the Read Everyday And Learn program.

It's been around since 2010, but this is just the second year that REAL has extended from the school year into summer vacation.

The 10-week program, thanks to a grant from the Ford Family Foundation, runs through Aug. 21.

Students not only read aloud to volunteers, they also work with flash cards, practice phonics and strive to memorize frequently used words.

Jim Tomlinson, the program's coordinator, said school oKcials plan to compare students' literacy test scores from last spring to this fall as a gauge of REAL's value.

But we already see one sign of the program's success — attendance this summer has nearly doubled from last, with an average of about 20 students for each of the four weekly sessions.

Those kids are enjoying their vacation, no doubt.

But they're also still learning.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Oregon's Early Learning Council has ruled that if you have a medical marijuana card you cannot be a licensed home day care provider. The council apparently decided that caring for other people's children takes more mental acuity than someone who might be under the influence of the drug is likely to possess. It may also have been concerned with the possibility of a young child gaining access to the drug.

It's thesensibleapproach,no doubt.Day careproviders clearly need to have their wits about them. Still, it points out all too clearly Oregonians' foggy feelings about the drug.

• Day care providers may not have medical marijuana cards, which are in some ways equivalent to a physician's prescription, though they may have prescriptions for narcotics. Too, mere possession of the card does not mean the drug will be used when a home is full of children, though comments by members of the council indicate they seem to think otherwise.

• Other members of a provider's family may have cards, though no one can keep the drug in a licensed day care home. That's reasonable: Kids have a way of getting into things adults think they cannot, and no one suggests marijuana isgreatfor toddlers.

• The ban is apparently an honor system sort of a thing.

State day care license applications do not seek information aboutmarijuana cards,and state law prohibits accessto the database that contains information about those who possess thecards,according to TheAssociated Press.Providerswillhavetoreportthemselves tothe state,itseems, though there's no mechanism in place to assure that they

do.

• Oregonians will decide in November if marijuana should be legalized. While the measure bars those under 21 frompossessingit,itdoesnotbarparents ofsm allchildren either from possessing it or using it in front of those children.

It's hard to reconcile the drive to legalize marijuana with the paralleldriveto keep itoutofthehand ofday care providers, even when no children are present. It's either relatively harmless, as legalization implies, or it is not, and it should not be treated as if it is.

Your views Self-serving politicians shouldn't try to m anage land This letter is in regard to the Blue Mountains Forest Plan Revisions, which include Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla and Malheur National Forests ialmost 5 million acres that belong to all the citizens of the United States.

Every plant, microorganism, and animal on Earth exists within an ecosystem, a complex network of interdependent relationships in which each individual strand is important and contributes to the success of the whole.

Ecosystems, in turn, interact with one another to form the biosphere ithe zone oflife on our planet). These systems, so important to the world around us, are far from stable. The intermountain lowlands of the western United States isconsideredone ofthe m ostim periled ecosystems in North America.

The rapidgrowth ofhuman population and their attendant technologies have created unprecedented forcesof ecological change. Once you understand the biosphere's interactive network ofrelationships,you develop a deeper appreciation ofthe complexity ofthe life around us.

Dale Bosworth, the former Forest Service Chief, named unrestricted motor vehicle use as one of the four major threatstonationalforests.He specifically cited the growing popularity of ATVs and their potentialtocontributeto erosion, harassment of wildlife and conflict with other forest users. He ordered each national forest to write a travel management plan that would designate which roads,trailsand areas would be open to m otor vehicles.

A ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that"there can be no doubt that the Dept. of Agriculture iof which the Forest Service is a part) possessesstatutory authority toregulate activities related to mining even in nonw ilderness areas in orderto preserve the nationalforests."

I believe this applies to all other activity in our national forests. We are looking at a situation where maybe 1 percentorlessoftheU.S.citizensare trying to dictate the use of our national foreststotheother 99 percent.Isthis social justice?

W e need tokeep the self-serving state and local politicians from trying to manage our public lands and let the Forest Service do their job.

Thanks, counties, for opposing forest plan Locked & Loaded Off Road Group of Baker City would like to thank the representatives from the Eastern Oregon Counties Association iEOCAl, including our three commissioners from Baker County, for objecting to the Blue Mountain Forest Plan Revision 2014 draft.

Those of us who have been involved with the previous attempt to pass the WWNF Travel Management Plan, the BLM Draft Resource Management Plan, the BLM Sage Grouse commentingperiod and now the BMFPR comment period will stay vigilant and it is refreshing to know that we have the support of groups such as the EOCA. We hope that all people who live, work and recreate in the Blues are paying attention at all times and that you make your voice be heard now and in the future. As stated in the Baker City Herald article on Aug. 5, timber harvesting has to increase and "the plan makes no guarantee that the forests will m eet those projected timber volumes" as stated in the plan alternatives D and E. It will not only benefit the forest health but add revenue to surrounding communities and provide proper funding for USFS maintenance. The discussion that the "BMFPR sets a stage for the USFS to impose a TMP that bans motorized vehicles from a substantial number of roads in the WWNF'is all too real and it's not fair. If maintaining the current forest roads is a money issue and in turn is the reason behind closing multiple roads in the Blues then increased timber harvesting is the answer. Those of us who spend time in the Blues for any reason, should not be denied access but should be encouraged to enjoy what is ours. The USFS multiple use mandate should be held in highest regard and properly managed by the USFS as a steward of the Blues and nota dictator.

Aug. 15 is the deadline to comment on the BMFPR Guide to commenting: http J/www. fs.usda.gov/goto/BlueMtnsPlanRevision Submit comments to: http Jtwww. fs.usda.gov/goto/BlueMountainForestPlanRevisionComments Fax: 541-523-6392 USPS Mail to: Blue Mountains Plan Revisions Team, P.O. Box 907, Baker

Democrats' ideas won't save the planet Save theplanet!a localDemocratic offtcial tells us; vote Democratic. But this fellow doesn't tell us that the Democratic climate change program is both expensive and ineffective.

One Democratic policy is to allow the price of gasoline to rise, so people will buy smaller cars. We now pay nearly $4 a gallon for gasoline; when President Obama was inaugurated, it sold for under $2. What's that done to your budget? Wind turbine-generated electricity costs around four times as much as that from conventional generators; the Democratic plan requires public utilitiesto purchase that electricity despite its high cost. That expensive electricity shows up in your monthly OTEC bills.

Energycostsare such a vitalpartof our economy that expensive energy makes everything else more expensive as well.

But do the Democratic policies actually save the planet? Not really.

Consider the much ballyhooed higher standards for fuel efftciency in our automobiles. Cram Americans into m otorized sardine cans for 30years and you put off drowning of the Statue of Liberty for a whole month. As long as fossi lfuelsare burned,carbon dioxide will continue to accumulate in the earth's atmosphere. This buildup will stop only when all countries in the entire world stop burning fossil fuels. That's not going to happen. The only significant outcome of Democratic climate change policies is that Al Gore and his politically connected buddies are getting rich at our expense.

Our Democratic offtcial also doesn't tell us thatthere have been periods in recorded human history when the earth's climate was significantly warmer than it is today. He leaves out the fact that none of the calamities shown so graphically in Al Gore's film actually happened during those warm centuries. He fails to mention that the scientists who study the history of the earth's climate call these warmest times climactic optimums, for conditions then were the most favorable for mankind.

Our local fellow wants us to vote Democratic so we can lower our standard of living yet have no significant impact on what will happen in the coming decades. No thanks!

The veterinarian happened to stop by the Animal Clinic that day and watched the surgery.

Burns said she adopted the dog trom a woman in Hermiston in May. But since then her circumstances have changed, forcing her to find a new home for Niko.

Burns said Studebaker had driven to La Grande Aug. 3, arriving at her home about 5 p.m. Burns said she thought Studebaker was just coming to look at thedog beforemaking a decision about whether to adopt him for her 5-year-old daughter.

"I wasn't expecting her to take him," Burns said.

"I didn't think she would m ake a decision sofast."

ROBIN WILLIAMS: 1951-2014

umor i come ian'sstru es

By Haven Daley and Hillel Italie Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — He was the funniest guy in the room, something that made it alltheharder forfriends and fans to accept that beneath thatreservoirofkeneticenergy and seemingly endless good humor resided demons so dark they could push Robin Williams to suicide.

It was no secret that the Oscar-winning actor had sufferedforyearskom periodic bouts of substance abuse and depression — he made reference to it himself in his comedy routines. But word that he had killed himself Monday at his San Francisco BayArea home left both kiends in the Hollywood community and neighbors in the quiet community of Tiburon that he called home equally stunned and grief-stricken.

"Robin and I were great friends, suffering from the Ricardo DeAratanha / LosAngelesTimes same little-known disease: Robin Williams died on Monday. He was 63. Here, the depression. I never could have expected this ending to actor is pictured on the set of "The Crazy Ones" at 20th his life and to ours with him. Century Fox Studios in November 2013. )

God bless him and God bless us all for his LIFE! I cannot believe this. I am overwhelmed with grief. What a wonderfulman/boy and what a tremendous talent in the most important art of any time — comedy! I loved him," actor and comedian Chevy Chase said in a statement.

He wife last saw him alive at homeabout 10 p.m. Sunday, according to the Marin County sheriA"s office. Shortly before noon, the SheriA"s Departmentreceived a 911 call kom the home, where the star of"Good Will Hunting,""Mrs. Doubtfire,""Good Morning, Vietnam" and dozens of other films was pronounced dead.

preliminary investigation determined Williams hanged himself. He was 63.

"This morning, I lost my husband and my best kiend, while the world lost one of itsmost beloved artistsand beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken," said Williams' wife, Susan Schneider."On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."

The total cost of the project for the city will be around

$138,000, Owensaid.

Thatincludes the asphalt, grinding of the existing pavement and county labor. The money will come kom the city's Street Fund Preventative Maintenance Department. Owen saidthereisalready about $150,000 budgeted forstreet repairs.

Grinding the old asphalt will take one or two days, probably in late August, with repaving to follow on two days in September, Owen wrote in her report. ''We are really blessed with the condition of our roads compared to some major cities in other places. I think we are impatient at times but we have lots to be thankful for the service we are getting for the money we are spending," Mayor Clair Button said.

The City Council Tuesday night also decided to take more applications for a vacantAirport Commission position.

The Council also approved, on 4-3 votes, two different resoluti ons regarding surplusproperty.

Resolution 3734 and Resolution 3735 deal with the two pieces of property the city owns in the Salmon Creek area about eight miles west of town.

One piece is 15.95 acres while the other is 33.23 acres. By approving both resolutions the Council ratified a motion to m ove forward to selltheparcelsand placetheissuebefore voters— as stipulated by thecity charter— attheN ov.4 general election. The moneykom the sale of the property, if votersagreeto do so,would gointo thecity'swaterfund.

While seemingly straightforward, several council members expressed a wish that the money generated be specifically designated to pay down the loan on the permanent UV water treatment facility now under construction.

Councilors Roger Coles and Dennis Dorrah both said they could not support the resolutions unless a rider was attached that stipulated the profits kom the sale go to pay down the UV plant loan.

However, Councilors Kim Mosier, Mike Downing and Barbara Johnson, along with Button, voted to proceed with the resolutions without that requirement.

Dorrah, Coles and Councilor Richard Langrell voted againstthe proposal.

In other action Tuesday night the Council: • Approved a modification to a Certified tucal Government Grant application.

• Agreed to a motion to award a bid for Cured in Place Stormwater/Wastewater Rehabilitation. This venture consists oflining wastewater pipes that include portions of Myrtle, H, B, Fourth, Ninth, Hfth, Eighth and Third streets along with five alley line sections. Also, about 1,000 feet of storm water lining will be completed under the bid. The total bid was $170,000 kom Engineered Construction, Inc. iPECl of Helena, Montana.

• The Council also received a briefingkom Warner regarding the county's stance on the recentlyreleased proposed Blue Mountain Forest Plan revision, and councilors agreed to write a letter in support of the county, which opposes the draft version of the management plans for the Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla and Malheur national forests.

EUGENE — Here's all anyone needs to know about Oregon's upcoming season: Marcus Mariota.

OK, maybe not entirely, but Mariota will certainly receivea better partofthe attention each time Oregon takes the field this fall.

The junior quarterback couldhave boltedfor the NFL this spring but he decided to stay with the Ducks, who were ranked as high as No. 2 last season before two losses took them out of contention for the national championship.

When asked what Mariota's return means for the team, coach Mark Helfrich was succinct:"A ton."

"On the field Marcus's contribution and dynamic nature, and the way he plays, speaks foritself," Helfiich said."The behind the scenes thing is deciding to come back and his leadership. He's 100 percent true.

He's 100 percent dedicated to the team, and 100 percent credible."

Mariota and the Ducks arelookingforredemption this season. Just don't call it "unfinished business." aWe want to take it and see how far we can go with it. We want to be part of the Pac-12 title game, we want to bepart oftheplayofF picture," he said."For you to say it's national championship or bust, that's an outside opinion."

• Local businesses use Facebook to promote, help grow customer base

By Cherise Kaechele WesCom News Servlce

Facebook seems to have revolutionized long lost fiiendships and the ability to share baby photos, but what has it done for businesses? Depending on the market, a business' Facebook page could substantially help it grow.

For The Potter's Gift House and Gallery, owner Judy Jensen said despite having a large following on Facebook, business hasn't grown at all.

"MostFacebook followers are out of towners," Jensen said.

"It's the age of the clientele. The young professional women are on Facebook."

Just a few blocks away, Fitzgerald Flowers owner Julie Bodfish said business has grown because of Facebook.

Fitzgerald Flowers has more than 1,200 people following it and The Potter's House has more than 1,800. However, the two businesses are having a much different reaction to the amount of business they see because of their social media site.

"The Facebook page puts you in front of iyour customers)," Jensen said."But business hasn't grown."

Jensen attributes the lack of business, despite the number of followers, tothecustomer base.

Many ofher customers are from out of town or are outside Facebook's younger demographic.

The older customers Jensen has, she said, aren't really on Facebook.

However, Bodfish said she has had quite a few comments from

Judy Jensen, owner ofThe Potter's House, uses Facebook several times a week to keep in touch with her followers. Despite having more than 1,800 following her page, she said, she does not believe it has helped her business at all. customers who also follow her page. She believes her business is better off since adding the social media account.

"Fans of the page will like a post and then it will show up on their wall and iQ1 grow from there," Bodfish said."It boosts my posts."

Bodfish said she has a mixture of customers, both younger and older, who come in to her store.

Bodfish said she can definitely tell that Facebook is helping her business.

Both owners dragged their feet in embracing the social media madness at first.

For Jensen, her daughter is a business consultant professionally and took over her mother's Facebook page and the website

as asideproject.Herdaughter took pictures and posted on the page constantly and The Potter's House Facebook page grew from 300 fol lowers to 700 in aspan of six months.

Bodfish said she heard for a decade that a business needs a social media site — at that time MySpace was dominating — but she felt there wasn't enough time in the day to keep one. She started her page in 2011 and now, three years later, has more than 1,200 followers. She still doesn't think there's enough time in the day, but the added business definitely helped. cWe post items unique to the store," Bodfish said."They can get a visual for what we offer.

Dracornan measures are in place with even more being considered to eliminate water waste and reduce everyday usage of water, until such time as rain and snow once again blanket the Golden Stateand the reservoirsand aquifers are filled.

Many companies today are in a drought the question is to what level.

Businesses suffering from drought conditions have two significant problems.

The first is that they are not consistently generating enough qualified leads. Put another way, whatever is happening in marketing is not working.

The second is that the company sales department is not making enough presentations to qualified prospects to add to the chent base.

Sales people are often referredto as"rainmakers."

How are your rainmakers doing these days?

Are they hard at work or making excuses? Are they getting the business or giving you "the business"?

Are your current marketing efforts for new clients generatingthe leads needed to grow the client base in a reasonabletime?

Marketing is everything done to "make the phone ring."Within this definition are all forms of advertising — print, electronic, outdoor, Internet, direct marketing

The first step is to determine the source of your current client base. Next to each client list the marketing method employed. Estimate the amount of money spent to acquire the client.

The second step is to put a revenue amount per client comparedtotheestimated cost of client acquisition. This calculationprovides return on marketing investment.

ONTARIO — Camelina field trials at the Oregon State University experiment station here have shown the oil seed crop couldbe a sourceofincome for the region's farmers in drought years when irrigation water is sparse.

Camelina, which is a source of animal protein supplements, cooking oil and biofuel, can be planted in the fall or very early sprmg.

Camelina that was harvested at the research station in late June and early July this year

yielded 1,590 pounds of seed per acre despite receiving no irrigation water.

The area only received 5.69 inches of precipitation from when the crop was planted Nov. 27 through harvest.

"It produced more than we expectedgiven thefactwereceived less than 6 inches ofprecipitation," said OSU researcher Clint Shock, director of the university's Malheur County experiment station.

This year's results were similar to those in 2013 during the trial's first year.

Camelina wouldn't be a high-value crop in this area but

itcould providefarmers some income to offset their fixed expenses during years when water is scare, Shock said.

This year's yield average means the crop would have been worth around $300 per acre, he

added. That compares to $4,800 per acre for an average onion crop.

"It's not a high-return crop but at least something could be produced off the land with very little water," he said.

Nyssa area farmer Paul Skeen said the camelina trial is intriguing, especially in a year like 2014 when water is tight. A

lot of ground in the area was left fallow this year in anticipation of a short water season.

But farmers in this area have alotofexpenses tied up in irrigated land and in years when there is very little or no irrigation water, camelina might help them recoup some of those expenses.

'You've got costs in your ground whether you farm it or not," he said.'You're atleastgettingenough back tomaybe pay your rent or taxes. At least you're cutting some of your losses."

Skeen estimates the 2014 trial crop would have covered costs.

"Customers come in and we servecoffee,tea and water and they enjoy the music and atmosphere and wind down from their hectic day. They m ay not buy anything, and that's OK, I don't mind."

Some are taking land out of production altogether, bulldozing withered orange trees and leaving hundreds of thousands of acres unplanted.

"There will be some definite changes, probably structural changes, to the entire industry" as drought persists, said American Farm Bureau Federation

President Bob Stallman.

"Farmers have made changes. They've shifted.

This is what farmers do."

In the long term, California will likely move away from commodity crops produced in bulk to high-value products that make more money for the water used, said Richard Howitt, a farm economist at the University of California at Davis. The state still has advantages in almonds, pistachios and wine grapes, and itslocation means it will always be wellsituated to export what can be profitably grown.

and eliminate marketing activities that don't work and start investing more where they do.

Sales takes control when m arketing drives prospects to contact your company.

Is everyone in sales presenting to qualified prospects as frequently as they could? Put another way, are yoursalespeople generating enough rainfall to flood your company bank account?

The answer is a resounding"no" for 99.9 percent.

Why is this?

Prospecting on Mondays

and Fridays is rare. Research suggests that the first call on any given day for many sales people is not until 11 a.m.

Many in sales spend Mondays and Fridays doing expensereports,sitin sales meetings and push lead sheets around. Rumor has it they also engage in chit-chat, surf the Internet, take long lunches and golf all the time.

If you want more clients, better clients, more sales, stronger cash flow and more profits, you need to change the sales paradigm.

Now is the time to create a new, stronger, better, more focused work ethic for your sales employees.

WASHINGTONPresident Barack Obama is dragging down his party and hurtingthe prospectsoffellow Democrats as they head into midterm elections that will determine who controls Congress, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

Obama is beset by problems at home and abroad.

Just 40 percent ofvoters approve of the way he's doing his job, tying his worst mark in three years and the second worst ofhis presidency.

Just 39 percent approve of the way he's dealing with the economy and only 33 percent approve ofhow he's dealing with foreign policy, the worst ofhis years in office.

By 42 percent to 32 percent, voterssay their opinions of Obama make them more likely to vote this fall for a Republican than for a Democrat.

And for the first time this election cycle, more people said they would vote for a Republican than a Democrat for Congress, by 43 percent to 38 percent.

"The Democrats are sputtering," said Lee Miringoff, thedirectorofthe MaristInstitute for Public Opinion in New York, which conducted the national survey.

Republicans are making the campaign a referendum on Obama, hoping that discontent with the president will help them win control of the Senate and hold their majority in the House of Representatives.

Independents are driving the change.

The number of Americans who consider themselves independents has risen since Obama took office in 2009 Miringoff said, and now more of them are supportmg Republicans.

Independents break for Republicans over Democrats by 40-26, with 12 percent picking neither party and 22 percent undecided.

'Morepeopleseethemselves as independents, and those peopleseem to havebailed on Obama," Miringoff said.

Independents disapprove of Obama's job performance by 53 percent to 35 percent.

They turn thumbs down on his handling of the economy by 58-39 percent, the same as the national result. They disapprove of his work on foreignpolicy by 64-31.

Republicans need a net gain of six seats to gain control of the Senate, which many analysts see as within reach. The Republicans' House majority, now 234 to 199, appears safe.

Obama and the Democrats have introduced proposals thatcould appealtotheir base of supporters,includingpaying men and women equally, easing student-loan burdens and increasing the federal minimum wage. But support for the Democrats has continued to erode.

In December, voters' opinions split evenly between the major parties. In February, they favored the Democrats by 2 percentage points, 46-44. In April, they favored the Democrats by 6 points, 48-42. Now they lean toward the Republicans by 5 points,

43-38.
