An exclusive News 9 poll shows Republican Steve Russell leads Democrat Al McAffrey in Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District race.
The poll indicates 52.3 percent of likely voters would choose Russell and 29.9 percent would pick McAffrey.
The survey, conducted by SoonerPoll & News 9 on September 29th, would shows Russell winning with 58 percent of the vote after undecided voters are factored into the equation.
“Steve Russell has a substantial lead overall as well as a lead in key subgroups,” says Bill Shapard, president of SoonerPoll. “If the election were held today, he would be the next congressman. Currently, he is getting 1 in 6 Democrats but I expect that to increase as voters see he is the only conservative in the race.”
