You're Doin' Fine, Oklahoma

By Melissa Gandall, NewsRadio 1000 KTOK ~ Americans seem to like Oklahoma, at least those who know enough about the state to care one way or the other. The findings of a Zogby International poll show 31% of those asked said they aren't familiar enough with the state to have an opinion. About 47% of those surveyed say they have a favorable opinion of the state, while 17% have an unfavorable view. Pollster John Zogby says the fact so many people are unfamiliar with the state presents a good opportunity for the State Chamber of Commerce, which asked for the study. Zogby says, "Oklahoma has an opportunity to tell its story." The poll also asked participants to name the first thing that comes to mind when they hear Oklahoma. Most of them said either the musical, Oklahoma or the Oklahoma City bombing.
