“It looks like Oregon is shaping up as a strong win for Barack Obama,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “The results in Oregon and in Kentucky, where Senator Clinton is expected to win next Tuesday, are likely to pretty much offset each other.”

The war trumps the economy as the top issue among those polled in Oregon, 41-34, a result that PPP has not found in any other state so far in 2008. The closest it came to being the top issue was in Wisconsin, another state where Obama won a dominating victory. Obama leads Clinton 63-31 among voters who state the war as their top issue. Clinton does better among voters on the economy, where she trails just 48-44, and on the third most important issue of health care where she has a 48-46 lead.
