Oregon Voters Like Hillary in 2008
August 29, 2007
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Many adults in Oregon would vote for Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 United States presidential election, according to a poll by SurveyUSA released by KATU-TV. At least 52 per cent of respondents would back the New York senator in head-to-head contests against three prospective Republican candidates.
Rodham Clinton holds a 10-point lead over former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, a 12-point advantage over actor and former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson, and a 20-point lead over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
In 2004, Democrat John Kerry won Oregon’s seven electoral votes, with 51 per cent of the vote. The last Republican to carry the Beaver State in a U.S. presidential election was Ronald Reagan in 1984.
