With the presidential election just around the corner, a recent poll conducted by WPA Intelligence in Oklahoma has revealed that former President Donald Trump continues to hold a significant lead over Vice President Kamala Harris. The poll surveyed 502 likely voters in the state, with 65% indicating support for Trump and 29% for Harris. The results largely align with party lines, although 15% of respondents identified as independents, with a majority leaning towards Trump.
Pollster Kyle Loveless attributes Trump’s strong support in Oklahoma to a perceived disconnect between national Democrats and the values of local residents. He believes that the increasingly left-leaning views of national Democratic figures like Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris are not in line with the conservative values held by many Oklahomans. Loveless also highlighted the growing number of registered independent voters in the state, suggesting that they may soon outnumber Democrats.
As the election draws closer, it appears that Oklahoma remains firmly in Trump’s corner, with little indication of a shift in support towards Harris. The results of this poll reflect the ongoing political divide between national Democratic policies and the preferences of voters in this conservative-leaning state. The findings suggest that Trump’s popularity in Oklahoma continues to be driven by the alignment of his values with those held by a majority of residents.
