Will Inhofe and Lankford surpass the 70 percent mark in Oklahoma?

[solarstorm]

James Inhofe and James Lankford are the Republican nominees for U.S. Senate.

[JRP1994]

Probably not, but Inhofe would cross it before Lankford because incumbency advantage.

[IceSpear]

No, even Obama got 33%.

[Vega]

Probably not.

[ElectionsGuy]

No, even Obama got 33%.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

No, considering rogers lost the primary.

[Maxwell]

Probably not, but Inhofe would cross it before Lankford because incumbency advantage.

Nope. Inhofe has a lower ceiling than most oklahoma republicans. if anything, Lankford does better than Inhofe.

[SWE]

Lankford will obviously do better, but neither of them will.

This x1 million. Even by Oklahoma standards, a large portion of the electorate considers Inhofe a nut.

Well that, and Inhofe spent a good chunk of his long long career as a sort of perennial also-ran.

[MATTROSE94]

I don't think that either will, though James Lankford will probably end up doing a few points better that Jim Inhofe. The reason why Lankford might do better is because he is (comparatively speaking) more moderate than Inhofe and also his opponent, Constance Johnson, is a bit too liberal for Oklahoma. The end results could possibly be 60% for Inhofe and 65% for Lankford.

[LeBron]

Lankford, clearly. Despite being a non-incumbent, he's facing a radically left Democratic candidate as opposed to Silverstein who appeals more to the centrist and moderate voters in the state. Inhofe has never gotten over 60% of the vote for what it's worth, plus while both are extreme social conservatives, Inhofe is.....Inhofe. He's just an unlikable guy.

Neither candidate will break 70%, but Lankford will come closer.

[Vosem]

Neither, but Lankford will do better; Inhofe is too far right even for a significant chunk of Oklahoma Republicans.

I know you're Oklahoman and I hesitate to correct you, but I'm under the impression that Inhofe has lost a grand total of two elections, both in the 1970s, during a career in public service that goes back nearly half a century. His record of winning elections is pretty good.

His first race he lost by a huge margin, then he ran for Congress and lost, and after a couple of terms as Mayor of Tulsa, the voters decided to boot him again. His congressional runs were always way closer than they should've been. Maybe perennial also-ran is too strong of a term, but he's spent his entire career underperforming.
