Although Oregon has been a [[blue state]] in presidential elections since 1988, [[Eastern Oregon]] is one of the major conservative [[red state]] parts of Oregon along with Southwest Oregon. Oregon had voted for Republican Presidential candidates from 1964 to 1984. For example, in the 2012 Presidential election, [[Mitt Romney]] received at least 60% of the vote in every county in Eastern Oregon.<ref>[http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?f=0&fips=41&year=2012 US Election Atlas], Oregon 2012 Presidential Election.

===Liberal Portland versus conservative Eastern and Southwestern Oregon===
The high [[population density]] northwest areas of the state (Portland, [[Eugene]], Salem) are very [[liberal]] leaning especially in the area of [[environmentalism]]. The southwest area of the state (such as the [[Rogue Valley]], [[Josephine County, Oregon|Josephine County]] and Jackson County) and the portion east of the [[Cascade Range|Cascades]] are very conservative. Hence, [[Eastern Oregon]] (Palouse, Harney Basin, High Desert, Treasure Valley and East Central Oregon) is considered to be [[conservative]].
