Mayor Dewey Bartlett and former Mayor Kathy Taylor are virtually even going into Tuesday’s city election, with former city councilor Bill Christiansen hanging a not-too-distant third, according to an Oklahoma Poll conducted June 1-5.
The survey of 400 likely voters showed Taylor with 36 percent, Bartlett with 35 percent and Christiansen with 20 percent.
Jerry Branch was favored by one poll respondent, Lawrence Kirkpatrick by none. Nine percent of respondents were undecided.
Under the city’s new non-partisan election system, Tuesday’s balloting will determine Tulsa’s next mayor if one candidate receives a clear majority of the vote.
