A new Survey USA Poll shows President Barack Obama only leading Gov. Mitt Romney by four-points in the very blue state of Oregon.

The new poll puts Obama ahead 47%-43% over Romney, in a state where Obama won in 2008 by 16%.

In a Survey USA Poll done in Oregon in mid-March 2012, Obama held an 11-point lead, 50%-39%.

That’s pretty good.I’d put that on my car.

Yup. The numbers in Portland metro eat up the mostly Republican vote of the rest of the state. Eugene & Salem have a part but Portland is the real killer.

I lived in Eugene for 31 years and other than on the local news, you can go for weeks without seeing a liberal.

Especially if he shocks me and rules from the right or even middle right.

It's not Romney that I'm concerned with, it's the Tea Party caucus in the Senate. If they gain strength, then they will set the agenda and Romney will follow suit.

Romney seems to me to be mostly a fiscal guy. That is what I am most concerned with now. I'm pulling for Rand Paul and those guys to save us.

This is not a “shock” and Oregon is rat leaning but not heavily rat. It’s really just outside of being a swing state.

4 points is exactly how much Kerry beat Bush by in the state. This election is gonna be more like 2004 than 2008 with it’s inflated rat numbers. Duh.

If Romney actually wins Oregon there’s no way he’s not winning easily nationwide, it would be cake.
