TvPoll Results: McMahan Should Resign
A new TvPoll taken for KWTV-Channel 9 and released today found that Oklahomans strongly feel that indicted Auditor and Inspector Jeff McMahan should resign.
When asked, “State Auditor Jeff McMahan was recently indicted for receiving excessive campaign contributions from an abstractor his office regulates. Should Jeff McMahan resign now?” 67 per cent of respondents (513) replied yes, 14.4% (110) replied no and 18.7% (143) were unsure.
Two other items of the poll, taken by Bill Shapard and Keith Gaddie, questioned voters about policy concerns related to the McMahan controversy and possible vacancy at the auditor’s office.
When asked, “Should legislation be changed to make it illegal for in office contributions?” 56 per cent (427) of Oklahomans replied yes, 24.2% (185) replied no and 20.1% (154) were unsure. Currently, Oklahoma statewide elected officials can legally accept campaign contributions from individuals whose businesses are regulated by their office.
The other question posed in this series asked, “When a statewide office comes vacant, how should a replacement be chosen?” 22 per cent (170) of Oklahomans believe that the these vacant offices should be appointed by the governor alone, 41.2% (315) believe that these offices should continue to be appointed by the governor but with the approval of the legislature, and 36.3% (280) believe that a special election should be called. Currently, the governor alone chooses a replacement when statewide offices become vacant. Oklahomans, however, feel that this process should incorporate approval of the legislature instead.
