Henry up by 21- Rasmussen Reports.


In the most recent Rasmussen Reports poll Henry leads Istook 54% to 33%. The marks a ten point gain for Henry over a previous poll. Henry's latest TV ads say 'Oklahoma is on the move!' yet, Henry himself seems to be 'on the move' as well. 18% of voters have an unfavorable view of Istook while only 7% have an unfavorable view of Henry. 51% think Henry is moderate. This is a good sign that people like Henry he is gaining votes as the incumbent, not losing them. These numbers are great for Henry beacuse the solid Republican base in Oklahoma is anywhere from 30%-35%, meaning Istook is just getting the votes because he is not the Democrat and has a R next to his name. My thought, Bob Sullivan, a political outsider, in a year with people upset at congress would do better than a congressman with a long voting record and lack of personality. Maybe that says something about the Republican voters, they like Henry so much they put the worst candidate foward.
