Quote:

When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 52% to 42%.

This is the sixth Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Oregon for Election 2008, and the Republican has never been closer than six points behind. Four times, Obama has enjoyed an eight-to-10 point lead, and once he was up by 14.

Obama is viewed favorably by 56% of Oregon voters, down six points from a month ago. McCain earns favorable reviews from 54%, down a single point.

Forty-eight percent (48%) of voters say the United States and its allies are winning the War on Terror while 21% say the terrorists are winning. That assessment is similar to the national average.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) say it is more important to find new sources of energy than to reduce the amount of energy Americans consume. Thirty-three percent (33%) disagree and say reducing consumption is more important. Those figures, too, are similar to the national average.
