Online Poll: Brogdon Takes The Lead

Senator Randy Brogdon has surged ahead in The McCarville Report Online's unscientific poll of the governor's race.

Congresswoman Mary Fallin was ahead in the early voting, with 58 percent; she has fallen to 24 percent while Brogdon has surged from 20 percent to 62 percent with about 330 total votes cast thus far.

Brogdon's surge followed posts on several pro-Brogdon blogs about the poll. Our poll's analytics show most of Brogdon's votes are coming from a handful of addresses.

Lt. Governor Jari Askins was at 17 percent and is now at 10 percent. Attorney General Drew Edmondson was at 5 percent and has the same percentage today.

The poll asks, "If the candidates for governor are Askins, Brogdon, Edmondson and Fallin, who wins?" The still-active poll can be found by scrolling down on the right side of this page.

Obama Leads McCain In Online Poll

Democrat Barack Obama leads Republican John McCain 67-33 percent in our poll asking who would win the presidency if we voted now.

The two were tied at 50 percent each until the Democrats of Oklahoma Community Forum, http://www.demookie.com/, posted a link to TMRO and encouraged its readers to vote in the poll. [The usual disclaimer: Nothing scientific about our poll.]

Analysis of the election shows Obama with a substantial electoral college lead over McCain, while national polls show a dead heat in the popular vote.
