The poll showed a "disturbingly" sizable population in Oregon from which extremists can gather followers and sympathizers, said Lindsay Schubiner, program director at the Western States Center.

About 39% of respondents agreed with the statement "White people in America face discrimination and unfair treatment on the basis of their race."
