Poll: Oklahomans Not Impressed By Obama

The Tulsa World reports that Oklahomans remain unenamored with their new president based on a just-released poll.

Fewer than half those surveyed by SoonerPoll.com on April 23-26 said they approve of the way Obama is doing his job, and most were skeptical about his administration's plans to turn around the economy and reform government.

The survey of 318 likely voters has a 5.5 percentage point margin of error.

Only 47 percent said they approved of Obama's job performance, while 48 percent disapproved.

Thirty-six percent said they strongly disapproved.

The Oklahoma results contrast sharply with national polling, which shows about two-thirds of Americans approve of Obama's job performance.

"Oklahomans are very polarized," said SoonerPoll.com President Bill Shapard. "Two-thirds of Democrats said they approve of Obama. That's in line with national figures. Among Republicans, only 25 percent approve of him."
