POLL: Dem Challenger +4 Over Oklahoma GOP Gov

Oklahoma City’s ABC affiliate reports:

Gubernatorial challenger State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister holds a slight lead on incumbent Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, according to new polling released Friday. The exclusive News 9 / News On 6 poll, conducted between Oct. 3 and 6, shows Hofmeister with nearly a 4-point lead one month from Election Day. Among those polled, Hofmeister got 46.8 percent of the vote, while Stitt got 43 percent.

Gov. Stitt’s campaign manager, Donelle Harder, released the following statement in response to the poll: “With an unprecedented amount of profit from special interest dark money TV ads attacking Gov. Stitt, News 9 has bought a poll with outcomes that court more political TV ad spending, yet we are confident Governor Stitt has the support of Oklahomans by a landslide.”

Last year Hofmeister switched her lifelong party affiliation from Republican in order to challenge Stitt in the general election.

She won the Democratic primary in June by 22 points.

Stitt and his wife, you may recall, declared upon his 2019 inauguration that his administration would be dedicated to “bringing people to Jesus.”
