Poll: Hillary Holds Commanding Lead in Oklahoma

[William769]

The survey of 757 likely Oklahoma voters, conducted Jan. 27-30 by SoonerPoll.com for the Tulsa World and KOTV, channel 6, also found that the economy is now the foremost issue among Oklahoma voters as they head to the polls.

While Clinton widened her lead heading into the state's Tuesday primary, U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona jumped ahead in the GOP race after trailing former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee by double digits just four weeks earlier.

McCain was the choice of 40 percent of Republicans surveyed, up from less than 17 percent in December. Huckabee, meanwhile, dropped from 29 percent in December to 19 percent in the most recent poll.

"What's significant to me is the meteoric rise of John McCain and meteoric disaster of Rudy Giuliani," said poll consultant Al Soltow, University of Tulsa vice president for research. "McCain was at 23.2 in April, at 17 percent a month ago, and now he's at 40."

4. This still counts Edwards voters, who are breaking heavily for Obama.

He could easily make it close in Oklahoma, particularly since Clinton isn't above 50%.

5. Bullshit

There will be tens of thousands of voters in OK on Tuesday, and I'm supposes to believe a four day old poll of 757 people?

7. This poll was taken before Edwards dropped out.

According to the article. With Clinton at only 41% I wouldn't depend on that lead staying too commanding for long.

8. Oklahoma is very conservative.
