Re: Key Findings from Recent Oklahoma GOP Primary Survey
Date: May 30, 2014


The following outlines the key findings from a survey of n=500 likely Oklahoma GOP primary
voters commissioned by the Foundation for Economic Prosperity, Inc. Interviews were
conducted May 27-29, 2014, with 20% of interviews being conducted with a cell phone sample
of those who could not be reached on a landline. The margin of error for the entire sample is +/-
4.4% at the 95% confidence level. The margin of error among sub-groups is greater.

James Lankfords vote share has grown dramatically over the past month.

Lankford now leads Shannon 48%-26%, with Brogdon at 4%, 3% voting for other
candidates and 18% still undecided. In our last survey (April 27-29), Lankford only led
by 2-points (36%-34%).

Lankfords favorable to unfavorable ratio has grown from 60:8 last month to 67:6 today.
During that same period, Shannons F:U has essentially been unchanged (66:6 in April,
64:9 today).

More importantly, among those who have a favorable opinion of both candidates (51% of
the electorate), Lankford leads Shannon 61%-26%.

Lankfords lead is driven by the fact that he is being seen as the strongest conservative in this
race and the one best equipped to take on President Obama.

Lankford tops 50% with very conservative voters (51%-27%), with only 15% still
undecided.

By a margin of 54%-19%, voters agree that James Lankford is the candidate best suited
to stand up to President Obama and overturn his failed policies.


James Lankford is in the drivers seat at this stage of the campaign and its clear that T.W.
Shannons allies have gone negative in an attempt to save him from not making a runoff with
Lankford.
