Bill Shappard of SoonerPoll announced the findings of a poll conducted in the past several days. He told a forum hosted by OklahomaWatch that Oklahomans do not identify with the leftist protesters on east & west coast college campuses. According to his research, 79% of Oklahomans want the memorials to remain where they are.
Mr. Shappard said he had not intended to release the findings for a couple more weeks but he did decide to release that one statistic in advance. The voters of Oklahoma rejected a key constitutional amendment last fall which would have cleared the way fro the return of a 'Ten commandments' monument to the state capitol campus. This recent poll shows that Oklahoma seems to retain a regard for historic memorials even if they don't think a constitutional amendment is fundamentally necessary to safeguard that type of expression. Soonerpoll is a division of Shappard Research. The firm was rated the best in Oklahoma and in the top ten, nationally. We posted the video of the event where SoonerPoll results were mentioned. Shappard discusses these details in the closing few moments. |
