RECENT POLL SHOWS DORMAN IN DEAD HEAT WITH FALLIN
Fallin stuck below 50 percent for the 5th poll – Dorman poised for underdog victory
OKLAHOMA CITY – With only 36 days remaining in the campaign, Joe Dorman, Democratic nominee for governor, is gaining ground as polls continue to show momentum. Both internal and external polls indicate that Dorman’s numbers continue to trend upward while his opponent cannot break 50 percent.
“The latest internal poll shows that we are in a statistical dead heat,” said Kendra Horn, Dorman’s Campaign Manager. “Joe is leading the way for our grassroots team to continue to work toward winning this election. Every day he travels across the state and demonstrates what it means to be a strong leader who is in touch with the people of Oklahoma. “
The poll, conducted by Tom Bonier of Clarity Campaign Labs, shows Dorman is within 2 points of the incumbent, Mary Fallin.
“I’m very excited to see the results of this latest poll. We show that Fallin is still under 50 percent and historically, an incumbent with such low numbers at this point does not win,” said Dorman. “We have worked tirelessly throughout this campaign to get to know the issues that are facing Oklahomans while Fallin has spent more time thinking about her Washington, D.C. cronies. Polls are only a strong indicator of a campaign’s success, but I’m confident if we keep up this momentum, I will be the next Governor of Oklahoma.”
