Clinton, Huckabee Oklahoma Favorites, Poll Finds
Frontrunners for Oklahoma's February 5 presidential primary may not be the best choices for carrying the state in November's general election, the latest Oklahoma Poll suggests.
U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton of New York was the first choice of Democrats surveyed and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee led Republicans. But Republican U.S. Senator John McCain was the only candidate from either party viewed favorably by a majority of all those surveyed and was the only GOP candidate to decisively defeat the top three Democratic candidates in head-to-head matchups.
Among Democrats polled, former North Carolina U.S. Senator John Edwards came in a distant second to Clinton but he had the highest favorable rating among all voters, 44 percent. Edwards won head-to-head matchups with Republicans Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, and he came within 3 percentage points of Huckabee.
Conducted Dec. 16-19 by Sooner Poll.com for the Tulsa World and KOTV, Channel 6, the poll surveyed 745 likely voters.
