Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton lead in new poll of Oklahoma voters

[NaturalHigh]

Oklahoma voters continue to favor Donald Trump among Republican presidential candidates, and Hillary Clinton is the pick over Bernie Sanders among Democrats and independents in a SoonerPoll.com released Tuesday.

Trump was at 30 percent, compared to 25 percent for Ted Cruz and 21 percent for Marco Rubio, who was up from single digits late last year.

Clinton was the choice of 41.5 percent of Democrats and independents who said they intend to vote in the Democratic primary. Bernie Sanders was at 28 percent, and another 28 percent was undecided.

Oklahoma's presidential primary is March 1.

1. From what I am seeing

on the ground, here in OK, many of the undecideds are leaning toward Bernie. I think it's going to be a tight finish.

2. That would surprise me to be honest.

I have yet to have anyone tell me that they are voting for Bernie Sanders. On the other hand, the Clinton name still carries some weight here among Democrats.

Among Republicans that I know, Rubio is the name I hear most often.

3. Ask Madokie if he hears anything about Hillary in NE OK

She doesn't seem to be too popular 'round his neck of the woods.

4. I'm in NE OK, up close to Lake Hudson.

Maybe I'm living in a bubble, but the Democrats I know (including most of my family) are voting for Clinton.

5. I think he's east of Tulsa

6. I'm 45 minutes NE of Tulsa.

7. That sounds like the I-44 corridor

I think he's somewhere near the Cherokee Turnpike

8. If I'm not mistaken he lives in Chouteau.

That's about ten minutes from me.

9. It could be different demographics.

Those who live in rural OK and have friends 40 and up, I can see them staying with Clinton. We live in downtown Tulsa and due to our jobs, we tend to know a lot of people much younger than us. Of course, this is Triple RED fly over country. The majority of Okies vote a straight R ticket.

10. You could be right. The majority of my friends are 35+.
