Portland Tribune Poll: Obama Way Ahead in Oregon


A new Portland Tribune poll in Oregon finds Sen. Barack Obama "has amassed a nearly insurmountable lead" in advance of next week's primary.

Obama leads Sen. Hillary Clinton by 20 points, 55% to 35%, among likely Democratic voters.

Said pollster Tim Hibbetts: "Barring a disaster, Barack Obama's going to win Oregon, and he may win it very big. This is the widest lead that I've seen of any poll for Obama in Oregon. I'd be shocked if Obama didn't win here."

1. Maybe Obama has the kind of win in OR that Hillary had in WV...

2. Except the demographics of the citizens are different;

the liberal composition of the majority of Oregonians and the fact they know who is the better candidate speaks volumes. WV will go rethug in November from everything I'm hearing, Oregon won't.

3. you misquoted the Tribune -- shame on you

You left out the word "nearly" in your headline.

"...a NEARLY insurmountable" lead.
