In Oregon, Obama (45 percent) led Clinton (41 percent) by 4 points, with 8 percent undecided and 6 percent refusing a response.
DESCRIPTION: Hillary answered questions from undecided voters on Oregon issues in a town hall hosted by KGW in Portland. By the end of the night after a standing ovation, Hillary won over the crowd in the room and thousands watching on TV. Clinton’s hourlong town hall did net her some undecided voters in Portland. …. THE REST OF THE DESCRIPTION IS BELOW THE FOLD.
REST OF DESCRIPTION OF VIDEO ABOVE:
Jennifer Hildrich, 50, of Portland said she was torn between “the outsider talking about change and a new day” and “the savvy political insight of someone who will get something done.”
Hildrich said Clinton impressed her with her detailed plans for addressing major issues. Then Clinton closed the deal for Hildrich when she implored voters to consider who would be the most effective president on day one.
Judee Jacoby, 64, of Damascus said she too showed up at the town hall meeting on the fence over whether to back Obama or Clinton.
By meeting’s end, she was firmly in Clinton’s camp.
“I like her views on health care and on education,” she said. “I just feel she is very personable and warm, someone an average American like me can relate to.”
