Polling In Oregon

SurveyUSA, the gold standard in polling this election season, has just released a survey of Oregon voters:
Obama 50%
Clinton 44%
Among white voters, the split is the same:
Obama 50%
Clinton 44%
This is a state that is 93.5% white and about 2.2% black. Sort of throws the argument that Obama can't win the white demographic out the window, doesn't it?

While we're at it, let's take a look at some of the other states Obama has won so far:
Idaho
Iowa
Kansas
Maine
Nebraska
North Dakota
Utah
Vermont
Wisconsin
Wyoming
Each and every one a state with a tremendous white population. Wouldn't it be nice if the Clinton campaign stopped the racist "he can't win in white states" bullshit?

The won't. But wouldn't it be nice?
