Poll: Obama leads in Oregon
Sen. Barack Obama accepts a University of Oregon jersey from basketball coach Ernie Kent. Earlier in the day May 9, Obama appeared with his brother-in-law Craig Robinson, coach of UO's rival Oregon State University basketball team. By Associated PressPORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A new poll shows Barack Obama with a huge lead over Hillary Clinton in Oregon as the state heads into the final week before its primary election votes are counted. Obama led 55 percent to 35 percent over Clinton among Oregon voters surveyed - a lead considered nearly insurmountable. The poll of 400 likely Democratic voters across the state has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points. The fact that Obama is favored by a percentage of voters well beyond that margin of error this close to the election suggests his victory in Oregon is nearly certain. The statewide polling was conducted May 8-10 by Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall for the Portland Tribune and KPTV. (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) |
