OKLA. CITY – Republican victory for Oklahoma and Democratic victory for the United States. Week 9’s predictions were almost dead on.

TvPoll.com conducted the scientific study using an IVR technique of 766 likely voters in Oklahoma October 31 – November 2, 2008. The study has a margin of error of ± 3.54% and was weighted by sex, age, congressional district and political party.

More Oklahomans voted for the Presidential race than the race for US Senate and both Corporation Commission races. Many voters left the US Senate race blank on their ballot; this race received the least votes.

Republicans were victorious in Oklahoma and, for the first time in the state’s history, the State Senate will have a Republican majority. Furthermore, all three Corporation Commission seats are now held by Republicans.

Beyond races, TvPoll.com also tested policy issues as well as election fraud in Week 9. Approximately 2/3’s of the likely Oklahoma voters polled chose John McCain as the best Presidential candidate to handle both the Economy and foreign conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

44% believe that race relations will worsen if Barack Obama was to be elected President.

Only a little less than a fifth of respondents revealed that they were not confident that their ballot would be fairly counted but, 80% were concerned that the Presidential election would be impacted by election fraud.
