Latest Oregon Presidential Polls 2012: Obama Loses Double-Digit Lead from 2008 Election by Half, but Still Leads Romney

President Barack Obama's polling numbers in Oregon have remained steady but nowhere near his results against Arizona Senator John McCain in 2008.

The 2008 presidential election saw then-Illinois Senator Obama win Oregon's Electoral College votes with a 16.4 percent spread, or 56.8 percent to McCain's 40.4 percent.

For 2012, latest polling figures have Obama leading outside of the margin of error.

Starting with the SurveyUSA poll conducted between Oct. 16 and Oct. 18, Obama leads by seven percentage points among the 579 likely voters.

The poll presented Obama with 49 percent to Romney's 42 percent, and despite Obama's lead, he is down two percentage points compared to the previous SurveyUSA poll.

According to the pollsters, "Romney voters are voting more 'for' Romney than they are voting 'against' Barack Obama, a sign that Romney is seen today as a more attractive candidate, not just an 'anybody but Obama.'"

The Hoffman Research Group also features Obama in the lead, but down to five percentage points, among the 615 likely voters.

The Hoffman poll shows Obama with 47 percent to Romney's 42 percent while 12 percent are undecided or not supporting either candidate. However, for the undecided voters, Hoffman asked whom they'd vote for if it were immediately Election Day. For the undecided voters, Romney garnered 27 percent to Obama's 14 percent, but will a majority went undecided with 59 percent.

As more people are utilizing early voting, so have those surveyed. Thirty-four percent in the Hoffman poll stated they have had the chance to vote but there is a tie when it comes to whom they voted for at 47 percent for Obama and Romney.

Finally, The Oregonian conducted their poll between Oct. 25 and Oct. 28 among 405 likely voters.

The poll presents Obama leading with six percent, down 10 percentage points from 2008. Obama received 47 percent to Romney's 41 percent, however, the margin of error stands at a heavy five-percent.

According to Real Clear Politics, Oregon is, currently, going to give their seven Electoral College votes to Obama come Nov. 6.
