In Oregon, Barack Obama leads John McCain 46% to 37%, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey. These results are virtually identical to those from a month ago. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 49%, McCain 40%.These results mark the fourth time in five statewide polls this year that Obama has enjoyed a lead ranging from six to nine percentage points. Once, enjoying a bounce from his participation in Oregon’s Democratic Presidential Primary, he opened a fourteen point lead. Nationally, the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll continues to show Barack Obama holding a modest lead over John McCain.
Obama is viewed favorably by 62% of Oregon voters, McCain by 55%. For both men, that’s an improvement over the past month.
As with their West Coast neighbors in Washington and California, Oregon voters are less enthusiastic about offshore oil drilling than voters in the rest of the country. Just 51% support offshore oil drilling and only 47% support drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. These figures are below the national average.
