Democrats also flipped the House of Representatives, picking up 36 seats across the country; they’re expected to have the largest House majority since the 1980s.The President’s low 38.3% approval rating certainly played a role in which demographics showed up to vote, and the strong numbers for Democrats across the country.The Democratic gains across the country were fairly marginal in Oklahoma, but did translate to the closest gubernatorial election in two decades between Republican Mike Mazzei and Democrat Cyndi Munson.Once all the votes were tallied, Mazzei defeated Munson 52%-46%. Munson had the best performance of a statewide Democrat since Brad Henry won reelection in 2006.Results of the Chi Rhoan Student Poll<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0C3iWW_1Gv5uWpb00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0C3iWW_1Gv5uWpb00" width="1200" height="495" ></figure>The Chi Rhoan’s poll of the governor’s race found that 47% of students preferred Democrat Cyndi Munson; 26% of students preferred Republican Mike Mazzei, and 24% of students were unfamiliar with either candidate.“My biggest takeaways from both the national and state levels are that we, as Republicans, need to get out and vote and support our candidates rather than trying to outdo one another by running against each other and making our own party look bad,” Braxton Patterson ’30 said.In the poll of the race for Oklahoma’s next attorney general, 40% of students preferred Democrat Nick Coffey ’08; 30% of students preferred Republican Jon Echols, and 28% of students were unfamiliar with either candidate.Those trends roughly match the findings that Republicans make up 40% of the student population, and 42% of students identify with the Democratic Party; independents make up the remaining 18%.“We are starting to see the problems in our government and society and are deciding to change it now,” Chloe Weaver ’28 said. “I can only celebrate for the new hope it strikes in our youth, showing that we are not stuck and change is possible.”The findings of the Chi Rhoan poll seem to match the vote share of each Democratic candidate in their respective races. Munson received 47% of the student poll and just under 46% of the final results on Tuesday. Coffey received 40% in the poll and just under 45% of votes on Election Day.However, the Republican candidates significantly underperformed in the Chi Rhoan poll as compared to their final results Tuesday. In the Chi Rhoan poll, 26% of students preferred Mazzei, while he garnered just under 52% of final returns. 30% of students preferred Echols in the attorney general’s race, who ended up with 55%.The data would suggest that students were more familiar with the Democratic candidates than voters were statewide.</div></body>
