11 months till ballots are mailed in the election for President of the United States, incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama is poised to hold Oregon's 7 electoral votes, according to a poll for KATU-2 TV news in Portland. Today, in hypothetical head-to-head match-ups between the two Republican front-runners, it's:
* Obama 48%
* Obama 51%
* If Romney is the candidate, Obama leads among men by 5 points. If Gingrich is the candidate, Obama leads among men by 12 points.
* Romney has a Minus 20 favorability rating: 21% see him favorably, 41% see him unfavorably. Cell-phone and home-phone respondents included in this research: 600 state of Oregon adults were interviewed by SurveyUSA 11/18/11 through 11/21/11. Of the adults, 528 were registered to vote and were asked the substantive questions. This research was conducted multi-mode. Respondents who use a home telephone (69% of adults, 70% of registered voters) were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents who do not use a home telephone (31% of adults, 30% of registered voters), were shown a questionnaire on their smartphone, laptop, tablet, or other electronic device. In this survey, cell-phone and home-phone respondents vote similarly. Obama leads Romney by 10 points among home-phone respondents and by 5 points among cell-phone respondents. Obama leads Gingrich by 13 points among home-phone respondents and by 15 points among cell-phone respondents. |
