Depending on your politics, it's either an elitist bubble -- or a safe zone.

The core of deep-blue Portland, as always, looms over the region and state as a bastion of support for left-leaning candidates and causes, according to new maps compiled by The Oregonian/OregonLive showing precinct-level results from last month's election.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, ran up huge totals in the city's urban heart -- and even fared better in the city's outer edges than fellow Democrats Gov. Kate Brown and secretary of state nominee Brad Avakian.

That makes sense, given the way votes came in Nov. 8. Though Clinton lost the presidential race, she claimed Oregon and won big in Multnomah County, winning 292,561 votes, or 73 percent. Her best precinct was in Washington County, though. She won all three votes cast for president in a strip near Tanasbourne.

Brown was right behind Clinton with 279,210 votes in Multnomah County, or 72 percent. But she didn't run as high in the West Hills or in east Portland. The governor did, at least, match Clinton in the same Tanasbourne precinct, winning all three votes.

Both were far ahead of Avakian, who won Multnomah County but lost to Republican Dennis Richardson statewide. Precinct maps show softer support for Avakian in some of the North Portland and close-in precincts where Brown and Clinton romped.

For example, in St. Johns, where Clinton won nearly 78 percent of the vote, and Brown topped 80 percent, Avakian won just 69 percent.

The maps also show he couldn't spread his base nearly as far into the suburbs as Brown and Clinton.

Tellingly, he won just 62 percent of ballots in Multnomah County, good enough for just 229,218 votes.

Along with his weaker showings in Clackamas and Washington counties, Avakian's performance in Portland contributed heavily to his statewide loss.

Trump romped in far-flung precincts in Clackamas and Washington counties. He didn't win a single precinct in Portland proper, although he did see islands of support in cities closer in. Trump won all eight votes in a precinct covering Washington County's Quail Valley Golf Club, near Banks.

In the only non-candidate race mapped by The Oregonian/OregonLive, Measure 97, the $3 billion-a-year corporate tax measure, couldn't even claim all of Portland on its way to a resounding loss statewide.

Voters in the West Hills and east Portland said no -- joining their neighbors farther afield. The measure also underperformed candidates such as Brown, who supported the tax increase, in solidly left precincts near downtown including the Pearl District.
