A poll conducted May 8 to 10 by Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall shows Barack Obama with a 55 to 35 lead over Hillary Clinton.

The Portland Tribune/KPTV News 12 poll found that Obama leads even among women voters, thought to be Clinton's strength, said Tim Hibbitts. The poll queried 400 motivated Democratic voters. It has a margin of error of 4.8 percent.

"Barring a disaster, Barack Obama's going to win Oregon, and he may win it very big," Hibbitts said.

1. The Pacific NW is Obama country

[book_worm]

2. Great! I think it will eventually be 62-38 for Obama in Oregon

So if 800,000 people vote in the primary--that would be almost a 200,000 vote majority for Obama.

[AllentownJake]

8. Well that isn't going to stop her

Big win in Oregon all popular vote gained by KY and WV are erased and we get to hear how no President has won without the support of Puerto Rico.

Looking good --- http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_Oregon_051308.pdf

[MadBadger]

11. So polls have him up 11-20. I like it.

[PBS Poll-435]

12. Most have already voted or will in the next couple of days, so ...

This is pretty much going to be the result.

[book_worm]

13. great! he's leading across the board, too according to the polls.

[MadBadger]

24. According to PPP, the war is the top issue

Id say thats a good sign for Obama

[pdx_prog]

14. I sent my ballot in the day I got it....

Hopefully the Oregon contest will nail it for him. It is going to be an overwhelming victory for him here.

Urge your state to conduct mail in ballots.....it is THE BEST...:)

[PBS Poll-435]

15. Mail-in really does work well.

And is so much cheaper

16. GoBama! Come on Oregon!

[roguevalley]

19. Oregon, God's country. RV, very homesick for home today.

[Egnever]

18. Fucking sexist white fuckers!

it had to be said

[GarbagemanLB]

20. I have seen tons of Obama stickers/signs in the Portland metro area and only one Hillary bumper

sticker.

Of course in Portland Obama is favored, but in the surrounding areas I was surprised.

My mom lives in West Linn, and I was shocked at how many Obama signs I saw there...it is a pretty Republican area.

21. Yeah, that poll and 3 bux at Starbucks will buy you a cup of coffee.

4.8% MOE! 400 LV! Not much to count on there. If HRC supporters had posted that we'd be all over them like flies on you-know-what! :rofl:

GoBama!

:dem:

[MadBadger]

22. All three polls have him up double digits. I dont see why we should discount this one.

[ORDem]

23. So, if I poll my friends and neighbors and come up with a double digit lead for Obama

you'll accept that?? Look, we all know he's going to win OR, but we don't need to be quoting flimsy polls to get that idea across. Makes us look like the Desperate One. :)

[MadBadger]

25. Agree to disagree

[Bullet1987]

26. All of Oregon must be elite Whites then...there are no hard-workers in THAT state

:sarcasm:
