LT. COL. STEVE RUSSELL SHOWS COMMANDING LEAD IN 5TH DISTRICT RACE

October 5, 2014

Lt. Col. Steve Russell, GOP Candidate for Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District, shows an overwhelming lead over his Democrat opponent in the latest poll. The survey, conducted by Sooner Poll & News 9 on September 29th, would have Steve Russell winning the election with 58% of the vote after undecided voters are factored.

“Steve Russell has a substantial lead overall as well as a lead in key subgroups,” says Bill Shapard, President of Sooner Poll. “If the election were held today, he would be the next Congressman. Currently, he is getting 1 in 6 Democrats but I expect that to increase as voters see he is the only conservative in the race.”

According to poll data, almost 20% of registered Democrats plan to vote for Steve Russell.

“I invite all Democrats in the 5th district to join our campaign,” says Russell. “Working across party lines was a hallmark of my tenure in the Oklahoma State Senate and I want to take that spirit to Washington. I think voters know I will work hard for the Oklahoma and American traditions that transcend party affiliation.”

Sooner Poll interviewed 423 voters in the 5th district for this survey. It has a margin of error of ± 4.76%. The general election is November 4th, 2014.
