Hillary Clinton won just 1 Oregon county -- by 1 vote [View all]

In my state, this is the story today:

Hillary Clinton won just 1 Oregon county -- by 1 vote
Betsy Hammond | The Oregonian/OregonLive May 18, 2016 at 8:58 AM

As early-morning vote tallies roll in, results of Oregon's Democratic presidential primary paint a sobering picture for national Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton -- she won just one Oregon county, and won it by just one vote.

The tally from Gilliam County: Bernie Sanders 100, Clinton 101.

Sanders proved transcendent, winning all 35 other counties. With at least 85 percent of primary votes tallied, Sanders stomped Clinton in Oregon: 55 percent to 44 percent.

So much for the only statewide poll, conducted by DHM Research for public broadcasting superstar OPB. It predicted Clinton would win by 15 percentage points. How wrong can a pollster be?
