Voters chose seven electors of the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Oregon was won by the Democratic nominee, Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis, over the Republican nominee, Vice President George H. W. Bush.

Bush came extremely close to winning the state in 2000 and only lost it by a somewhat slender margin in 2004.https://www.270towin.com/states/Oregon Oregon Presidential Election Voting History 270ToWin.com June 12, 2012 Bush's loss marked the first time that a Republican was elected president while losing Oregon since Ulysses S.
