Blue Oregon Turning A Shade of Purple?

Hillary Clinton is struggling in Oregon, a traditionally blue State reports Rasmussen:

Oregon has cast its Electoral College votes for the Democrats in five consecutive Presidential Elections. However, even during that stretch, no Democrat has even earned more than 52% support in the state. Three of the five Democratic victories were earned with 47% of the vote or less.

If New York Senator Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee in Election 2008, it may take some work to keep Oregon in the Democratic column–52% of the state’s voters currently have an unfavorable opinion of the Democratic frontrunner.

Giuliani trails Clinton by 1% as does Fred Thompson. But McCain is ahead 3%. Not exactly a great result for true conservatives and constitutionalists considering that every one of these GOP candidates definitely supports the continuation of the socialist welfare state. But it could be a sign that there is a shift from hard core socialism to a desire for less of it.
