New Survey Shows Shannon Surges Past Lankford, 42-32%

shannon9lankfordfullPublic Opinion Strategies, a survey research firm working for a group backing Senate candidate T. W. Shannon, says its new survey shows Shannon leading Congressman James Lankford by 10 percent.

The firm’s Glen Bolger provided the results, which shows that a non-stop advertising blitz by Shannon has propelled him from underdog to frontrunner.

The survey also shows no movement by Randy Brogdon, who remains at 7 percent support.

RE: KEY FINDINGS – U.S. SENATE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY SURVEY
DATE: APRIL 23, 2014
 Key Findings
T.W. Shannon has vaulted into the lead in the last month.
The ballot movement in this race has been nothing short of dramatic:
Feb  9-11 March 11-16 April 21-22
Shannon Margin -35  -9 +10
T.W. Shannon1 6% 28% 42%
James Lankford 51% 37% 32%
Randy Brogdon NA  7%  7%
All others 1% 2% 3%
Undecided 32% 26% 16%
This represents a 45 point net swing in Shannon’s favor since the race began. Republican primary voters in Oklahoma have really responded to Shannon’s campaigning, including the relentlessly upbeat, positive conservative-focused ads that have been run. Shannon now leads by double digits among key groups in a GOP primary:
C
Among base Republicans who are very conservative, Shannon leads 47%-28%.
C
Among strong Tea Party supporters, Shannon leads 45%-29%.
C
Religious conservatives back Shannon 44%-31%.
C
Among voters whose top issue is “stopping Obamacare,” Shannon leads 42%-30%. The issue of “stopping Obamacare” is the top priority among the GOP primary electorate.

    Would love to see an unbiased poll not sponsored or paid for by a candidate? I bet the numbers would be way different than these.

    This is me waving the BS flag…..

    Shannon’s ad concerning breast cancer is out of line and is offensive to many people I know. Stick to politics and stay away from lib type ads.

  4. Jamison Faught, 23 April, 2014

    Wait for the Lankford ad blitz. This will be a tight race.

    Oh Come on.

    I am very disturbed by this story, regarding allegations of plagiarism by Rep. Shannon. Can you investigate this Mike?
