One of the most unsurprising developments from last week’s Oklahoma Gubernatorial election was how SoonerPoll – the unreliable polling firm owned by signature counter Bill Shapard – once again totally whiffed on an Oklahoma gubernatorial election.
According to a Sooner Poll commissioned by News 9 just days before election day, Hofmeister held a 5% lead on Stitt, only to see Stitt turnaround to win by a whopping 14% margin.
Since News 9 routinely uses Sooner Poll as its polling firm, they decided to save a little face and conveniently try to explain away the polling debacle via a news report.
