�Barring a disaster, Barack Obama�s going to win Oregon, and he may win it very big,� said Hibbitts, one of Oregon�s most respected nonpartisan pollsters. �This is the widest lead that I�ve seen of any poll for Obama in Oregon,� he said. �I�d be shocked if Obama didn�t win here.�
Clinton�s slim hopes of gaining the Democratic nomination could rely on sweeping all six remaining primaries, Hibbitts said. Oregon�s May 20 primary could prove crucial in the nominating battle if Clinton wins, as expected, in West Virginia tonight and Kentucky on May 20.
�Obama needs a counterbalancing win, and Oregon looks like it�s here to provide it for him,� Hibbitts said.
That could give Obama an important psychological advantage as he tries to woo remaining uncommitted superdelegates, Hibbitts said. Those are elected officials and party insiders who are awarded automatic votes at the Democrats� nominating convention this summer.

�It looks like Oregon is shaping up as a strong win for Barack Obama,� said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. �The results in Oregon and in Kentucky, where Senator Clinton is expected to win next Tuesday, are likely to pretty much offset each other.�
The war trumps the economy as the top issue among those polled in Oregon, 41-34, a result that PPP has not found in any other state so far in 2008. The closest it came to being the top issue was in Wisconsin, another state where Obama won a dominating victory. Obama leads Clinton 63-31 among voters who state the war as their top issue. Clinton does better among voters on the economy, where she trails just 48-44, and on the third most important issue of health care where she has a 48-46 lead.

Oregon Women Move To Obama in Final Week Before Primary: In a Democratic Primary in Oregon today, 05/12/08, 8 days until votes are counted, Barack Obama defeats Hillary Clinton 54% to 43%, according to a SurveyUSA tracking poll conducted for KATU-TV Portland. Though the results are only slightly more in favor of Obama than SurveyUSA's most recent track point, released 11 days ago, before results of North Carolina and Indiana were known, there is movement in Oregon among women. 5 weeks ago, Clinton led by 7 among Oregon women. Today, Obama leads by 7. See the interactive tracking graph here .Among voters younger than Obama, Obama leads by 24 points. Among voters older than Republican John McCain, Clinton leads, but just barely, and by a lot less than she had. See the interactive tracking graph here .4 in 10 of likely voters have already returned a ballot. Among the actual voters, Clinton and Obama tie. Obama's advantage comes entirely from the 6 in 10 likely voters who tell SurveyUSA they will return their ballot before 8 pm on Primary Day, but have not yet done so. All voting in Oregon is by U.S. mail. Ballots may be returned until 8 pm on 05/20/08.
