Romney - 58%
Obama - 29%
Undecided - 13%

The poll of 495 likely voters was conducted by soonerpoll.com, using a random dialing technique that included both cell phone and landline telephone numbers. Likely voters are those who have established a frequent pattern of voting.

Interviewers collected the data by phone July 26-Aug. 14.

Shocking, huh. These numbers are about as riveting as those NY, California polls we get once a week for some strange reason.

Romney under 60% in Oklahoma?  Wow!

The margin is actually 2 points better for Obama than last time. Not like it matters, since it's Oklahoma, after all.

So Obama may reach 30% here!! Surprising!

Any chance he might win a county?

13% Undecided?  Trololololololololololololoolololol!

Anyways, I expect the 29% of Obama supporters to probably be the maxed out *SPOILER!* progressive/liberal/left wing/whatever the Hell you want to call it support in the state.  The 13% Undecideds are probably Evangelicals who can't decide if voting for a Morman is the right thing to do, considering that they might be eternally damned for supporting the Space God Doctrine.

The thing is a lot of Blue Dogs in this state just don't like Obama.  Therefore they will swallow the red pill and pull the lever for Mitt Romney (which explains the huge Republican tilt in a state with a lot more registered Democrats (who I also suspect are registered so to try to influence the primaries)).  Along with the crazies who have already switched to the Republican Party and *BIGGER SPOILER!!* ye old school Republicans who have been so for decades out of hackery.  There are not-so-crazy people in this state, yes yes yes sir, but a good deal of them are registered Republican and have come from families that have been registered Republican since the Dinosaurs roamed the Earth.  I know a lot of these families, mostly middle to upper class whites who are moderate on social issues but think that voting Democratic will OMG TAKE OUR MONEY!  So better be the crazy who will give us oil and gas subsidies while banning gay marriage and attack women who get abortions than the class warfare king who will tax oil and gas (read: Dan Boren)!

Which isn't to say that I like the Democrats either.  You guys are major losers and Oklahoma really needs to allow Third Party voting so I don't commit sepuku soon.

After reading this post, many of you might lose faith in Oklahoma.  Frankly, I don't blame you.

From the looks of it I would have to guess no.

Obama's best counties were Cherokee County (43.92%), Muskogee County (42.49%), Oklahoma County (41.59%), Okmulgee County (41.50%), Comanche County (41.23%), and McIntosh County (40.37%).  Out of those listed Comanche and Oklahoma counties are the only places he improved over Kerry.  Oklahoma County is the only urban county of those listed as I imagine the rest of the counties he did best in were blue dogs holding their noses.  This year, I can't imagine them being too thrilled (being OK Democrats) with pulling the lever again.  If I had to guess his best chances would be in Oklahoma County this year, and even that is incredibly unlikely given the influence of Big Oil in this state.

Undecideds are probably too high.

McCain won 65% of the vote in 2008, Obama won 34%.  Expect turnout to be down for both parties.
