A couple of other threads have been posted about this, but I didn't see this particular article from the Eugene paper. It's always interesting (at least to me) to see how they report on events that don't especially please them (and this would most certainly be one of those events).
"It's also possible that Kerry's numbers in Oregon have inched upward since the UO survey was completed last Wednesday - before more political bad news that prompted Bush to hold a rare news conference to defend his policies in Iraq and anti-terrorism efforts at home."
Well, they can always hope, I guess. This paper hasn't given it's presidential endorsement yet (they would say it's way too early), but most of us around are are fairly sure of who it will endorse.
But hey as I have said on other threads over the past few months, Oregon is in play this year!

Well, Bush has a better chance of winning your state than mine.

"Bush leads among voters between the ages of 18 and 44. Kerry leads among voters 45 and up, and among college-educated voters."
Another Myth about Conservatives debunked. Conservatives do NOT tend to be older... and they do NOT tend to be wealthy. I'm tired of hearing both of those fallacies. The liberal media uses them to paint Republicans in a certain way... and too many conservatives follow along with it.
The reality is that Conservatives today tend to be Younger, more working class/middle class. The wealthy snobs are almost all liberals.

The survey didn't mention Nader by name and represents only those who mentioned Nader by name, he said. He didn't include Nader because it's still unclear whether Nader will even appear on the ballot in Oregon, Bloom said. Well, that explains why Nader is getting ONLY 1% in Oregon of all places

The survey of 444 registered voters shows Oregonians favoring President Bush over presumptive Democratic Party nominee John Kerry 47 percent to 45 percent - well within the poll's margin of error of 4.7 percent. Only 1 percent favored independent candidate Ralph Nader and 6 percent are undecided.I believe that, historically, "undecided" tends to go heavily to the incumbent. Bush is looking landslide-ish.
