Note: This survey was conducted from Sept. 19-21, 2022, and included a pool of 500 likely voters in Oklahoma. These survey results were weighted based on party affiliation, age, gender and level of education based on Amber Integrated's proprietary 2022 voter turnout modeling. This survey has a margin of error of 4.4% at a 95% confidence interval. It is important to remember that subsets based on party affiliation, gender, age, education, race/ethnicity, and location carry with them higher margins of error, as the sample size is reduced. The poll surveyed both cell phones and landlines and used a combination of live callers and an online sample of likely voters.
