Henry Love Fest Continues: 83% Approval!
The Tulsa World reports today that Governor Brad Henry's popularity continues to grow, while the approval ratings of Oklahoma's U.S. senators remain stable and President Bush continues to slide. That's based on the latest Oklahoma Poll.
Henry checked in with his highest approval rating yet, 83 percent, in the survey of 752 likely voters conducted Jan. 19-21 by SoonerPoll.com for the Tulsa World and KOTV-Channel 6.
U.S. Senators Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn were both at 56 percent, a slight increase for each from the last Oklahoma Poll in October. President Bush's popularity continues to slide. The poll found that 47 percent said they approve of the job Bush has done as president, with an identical share saying they disapproved. Six percent were undecided. Bush's approval rating was 52 percent in October and 59 percent in January 2006. "The bottom line is, he continues to slide," said poll consultant Al Soltow, University of Tulsa vice president for research. "He peaked at 89 percent at the end of 2001, was at 77 percent in (early) 2003, and it's been a steady decline since then." Despite the drop, Bush remains more popular in Oklahoma than just about anywhere else in the country. A Gallup Poll conducted the week before the Oklahoma Poll put Bush's approval rating at 35 percent nationwide.
