No Republican presidential has won Oregon in a general election since 1984. That’s 32 years to the math challenged progressive. Yet now, at least according to one poll, Trump is beating Hillary Clinton in Oregon 44% to 42%. Considering how blue of a state Oregon one immediately wonders how is this even possible? The answer is with the independent voter. It’s a bloodbath among independent voters in Oregon. Trump wins 53% of the independent vote in Oregon compared to just 26% for Crooked Hillary Clinton.

Is this poll on outlier? Possibly. I just find it extremely hard to believe Trump could be leading in Oregon, and by so much with independent voters. I’ll wait until I see more polls out of Oregon before I get too excited about this one.
I think it says more about Hillary Clinton than anything else. If Trump can seriously compete in a state like Oregon with Portlandistan as it’s main population center, then she is in really deep trouble.
