Obama won Oregon in 2008 by 16 points.

This year his lead is down to just 6 points, per The Oregonian:

President Barack Obama holds a relatively narrow lead of six points over Republican challenger Mitt Romney in Oregon, according to a new poll conducted for The Oregonian.

Obama’s lead is considerably smaller than his margin of victory in Oregon four years ago and is a sign of how tight the presidential race has become across the nation….

Democratic officials continued to express optimism that Obama would win Oregon, which hasn’t gone for a Republican presidential candidate since 1984. But Republican activists said GOP voters in the state have shown a boost of enthusiasm that has energized Romney voters in recent weeks.

This poll is not an outlier.  Other polling post-conventions has found Obama with only a single digit lead, although this is the narrowest.

Via Hot Air, Obama on defense in blue states is the new narrative- more

    Barry is sending out resumes – pretty thin on experience unless you count community organizing. Romney in a landslide.

    I wish that WA state would turn a lighter shade of blue….if Oregon came come to it’s senses why not WA?

    Pretty Pah-leese! With lattes on top? I don’t want to live in one of the 3 states that Obama will win. Embarassing. ;)

    If you missed Rush today, he said those pix of Bari in the Situation Room pretending to look at pix of Hurricane Sandy were really strategy sessions on the legal avenues he’s going to use when Romney wins.

    Yep, we’re going to look at Bush v Gore again, and they’re going to claim fraud because (their pollsters!) have Bari up so much in the polls that the vote results have to be false.

    Romney’s message should be (through a surrogate, like Corn or Sabato): “All you Obamabots just stay home cause BO’s got it in the bag!”

    Let’s not get too cocky. Winning by 6 is just as good as winning by 16.

    I’m more than a little worried about Electoral College counts.

    Well, if the Oregonian says Barry is up by 6 you can bet he is down by 2.

    Here in Orygone it actually looks a lot worse for obama that they report. We saw obama yard signs all over the last time around, now hardly any and I live in a liberal hotbed.
