EXCLUSIVE: Poll Shows Tight Race For Next Oklahoma Governor
Loren Cosby – News On 6
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma – Oklahomans go to the polls November 4th and numbers released Thursday evening in our exclusive News On 6/News 9 statewide poll reveal the race is tightening, but Governor Mary Fallin still leads by double digits with just a month of campaigning left.
Of 400 registered voters likely to cast a ballot, Fallin is out front with 50 percent, unchanged from our poll last month. Her Democrat challenger Joe Dorman trails with 36 percent.
While it’s a four percent improvement for Dorman since our last survey, the Republican incumbent still has a 14 percent lead.
Two independent candidates are controlling a combined six percent of the votes while eight percent are undecided.
The undecided number was 15 percent just a month ago. According to Pollster Bill Shapard, undecided votes typically break for the challenger as the election draws near.
“Joe’s going to get more of that vote as the election goes on. At this point, we do not see that there’s enough weakness for Mary in which to be in trouble by the time Election Day arrives,” said Shapard.
