SurveyUSA, TvPoll Results Due Monday, Tuesday

Final polls on the race for governor apparently will be out on Monday and Tuesday. One will be a SurveyUSA poll for KFOR-Channel 4, the other a TvPoll.com poll for KWTV-Channel 9.

News anchor Kevin Ogle indicated last night the KFOR poll will be taken over the weekend. Keith Gaddie writes on his blog site the KWTV poll results will be released Tuesday night, apparently after the polls close. Gaddie also recaps all the polls taken in the governor's race this year and analyzes the incumbent's huge, persistent advantage.

Recent polls have shown Governor Brad Henry leading challenger Ernest Istook by huge margins, from 64-32 percent to 68-24 percent to 58-33 percent. Istook's supporters say the polls are not reliable because they are automated polls that do not use "live" interviewers. They do concede Istook trailed Henry in the final week of the campaign.
