Fallin, Askins Top TMRO Governor's Race Poll

Congresswoman Mary Fallin and Lt. Governor Jari Askins topped The McCarville Report Online's straw poll of potential candidates for governor next year.

Republican Fallin got 28.3 percent of the overall vote, Democrat Askins 20 percent.

Askins topped Attorney General Drew Edmondson among those who voted for the two Democrats. Askins got 67.2 percent to 32.8 for Edmondson.

Among Republicans, Fallin got 40.4 percent, Brogdon 29.8 percent, former Congressman J. C. Watts 18.2 percent, Congressman Tom Cole 10.2 percent and Senate President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee 1.5 percent. Fallin has declared she's running, Brogdon has signaled he may, Watts is known to be considering the race as is Cole, while Coffee has not indicated any interest.

Brogdon's support rose dramatically after a blog asked its readers to vote for him.

There's nothing scientific about our poll; anyone could vote.

The total vote count was 391.
