Raleigh, N.C. – PPP’s newest Oregon poll finds that Hilary Clinton has widespread support against every potential Republican candidate included in the poll.

A majority of Oregon voters say they would vote for Clinton in 2016 regardless of the opponent and no Republican breaks 40%. Clinton leads Jeb Bush 51/36, Chris Christie 51/34, Ted Cruz 52/37, Rand Paul 51/39, and Mike Huckabee 51/39. Clinton picks up a majority of moderates in each of these potential races, as well as at least 10% of those that identify as somewhat conservative.

“Oregon used to always be on the list of sleeper swing states,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “But Barack Obama won it twice by double digit margins and it looks like that run of Democratic dominance will continue if Hillary Clinton ends up deciding to run in 2016.”

A minimum wage hike garners pretty wide support throughout the state, as 59% support raising it to $10 an hour compared to only 34% opposed. It gets a majority of support amongst liberals and moderates, and even 32% of those that identify as somewhat conservative support raising the minimum wage. In what appears to be a much more contentious issue, 46% of Oregonians support letting drivers pump their own gas, while 44% oppose such freedom.

PPP also finds that while more voters are Oregon fans, Oregon State fans seem to have more prevalent opinions on their coaches. 35% of voters identify as Oregon fans to 29% who align with Oregon State. Among Duck fans, 49% approve of the job that football coach Mark Helfrich is doing with 4% disapproving and 47% unsure. Basketball coach Dana Altman has less support, with 37% approving, 7% disapproving, and 56% of Oregon fans unsure of his job performance. Among Beaver fans, football coach Mike Riley enjoys 55% approval and 10% disapproval of his job with only 35% unsure. On the basketball side of things, 50% of Oregon State fans support the recent firing of Michelle Obama’s brother Craig Robinson with 15% opposed.

PPP surveyed 956 registered voters, including 375 Republican primary voters, from May 22th to 27th. The margin of error for the overall survey is +/- 3.2% and for the Republicans it’s +/-5.1%. 80% of interviews for the poll were conducted over the phone with 20% interviewed over the internet to reach respondents who don’t have landline telephones.
