Poll Analysis
The Governor poll does not make sense. How is there an other option if you can not write-in a candidate in Oklahoma and only Istook and Henry are on the ballot. The poll sampling time period reflects when both candidates had television ads running. The numbers in support of Jari are due to her long running media campaign. The poll was taken right after the Askins ad "Can You Believe?" which criticized Todd Hiett for voting against Hiett. Since the last poll on 9/26 Askins has gained 2 points, Hiett has lost 1 point; a net gain for Jari Askins of 3 points. Maybe that is why Todd Hiett is running an ad with Jari on a monopoly board attacking her. TVPoll.com's most recent survey also showed support gaining for Askins.
