A new independent political survey shows Hillary Clinton with only a narrow lead over Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential race in Oregon. On the Republican side, businessman Donald Trump leads the field in Oregon, much as he does in national polls.
The July 25-27 survey by Portland-based DHM Research shows Clinton, the former secretary of state, leading the Democratic primary in Oregon with 44 percent of the vote to 39 percent for Sanders, a Vermont senator.
Trump has support from 18 percent of Oregon Republicans, compared to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at 12 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 11 percent and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 10 percent.

WARNING: This is NOT a DNC intentionally skewed poll showing HRC leading by a large margin :

(30,481 posts)is to simply grab certain information from polls. If the full group being polled is shown, it is DNC interference. Interesting take.
I will ask again. Do you have a link of the DNC favored polls you referenced in your op. Your link and comment is completely void of an answer to a statement you made.

(6,437 posts)So bad that RCP didn't even bother to include it in its aggregate. Why? Well:
-only 206 participants sampled
-MOE of +/- 7%
-Internet based survey
-Participants included only those who have previously taken a phone poll (massive sample bias)
It is a microcosm of everything you shouldn't do when making a poll.

(248 posts)and I say this as a Bernie supporter. I would be very much interested to see some more reputable polls from Oregon, especially after his upcoming rally in Portland with 15,000+ RSVPs already. I also heard from a couple news sources that Bernie is polling within 10 points of Hillary in Iowa, but I cannot find the poll they are referencing.
