Two New Polls Put Obama Way Ahead In Oregon
By Eric Kleefeld - May 19, 2008 - http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/05/two_new_polls_put_obama_way_ah.php


A new pair of polls in Oregon give Barack Obama a big lead going into tomorrow's primary, a contest that is expected to clinch a majority of pledged delegates for him:

    SurveyUSA
    Obama 55%
    Clinton 42%

    Sample size: 627 likely and actual primary voters.
    Margin of error: ±4%.

    Public Policy Polling (D)
    Obama 58%
    Clinton 39%

    Sample size: 1,296 likely and actual primary voters.
    Margin of error: ±2.7%.

From PPP's analysis: "Obama has likely pretty much won the election already. Oregon votes by mail, and he is polling at 59% with the 74% of poll respondents who reported already having cast their ballots." ...........

Signed, The Voters of Oregon

4. Looking good

in the SUSA poll 77% had already returned their ballots and of those Obama leads by 9%.

5. The Clinton camp's bribery effort probably isn't going to help either.

6. 42% is about 56% less than what she needs

All she has to do is get a 98% win in every remaining contest, and she has this puppy locked up! And then, it's On to the Whitehouse!
