Here's some promising news from a new Oregon SUSA Poll Obama still leads overall by double digits, but he has gained 7 points with Women since the last SUSA poll taken on 5/1/08.

Key points:

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.

Obama leads by 11 points among all voters

And Obama is also gaining ground among older voters as well.

Among voters older than Republican John McCain, Clinton leads, but just barely, and by a lot less than she had.

So Clinton is losing support among 2 of her trusted "base" demographics, women and older voters. I'd love to see some polling from Montana and South Dakota to see if this a trend or if Oregon is an anomoly.
