The Polling services of Oklahoma Strategic Solutions was asked to conduct an independent polling of the Oklahoma Republican electorate for the Gary Richardson Campaign, this past week. The results are a continuance of the trend toward uncertainty for the announced candidates. While the two top candidates are continuing their downward trajectory, Richardson gained a modest portion and Stitt rose from obscurity to 8.4%. Jones & Fisher still remain under 3%. The biggest anomaly is that the undecided voters are now about half of the voter base. This bodes badly for those candidates who've already spend huge sums on media & other campaign bloat. Obviously, the Richardson campaign would not have been so revealing of polling that gave bad results, but this polling appears to have been disciplined and following conventional methods.
