Donald Trump is set to win Oklahoma’s seven electoral votes this November, reports KGOU.
His victory is being predicted despite widespread voter ambivalence about his candidacy in the state. A recent poll shows Trump leading Hillary Clinton by 15 percentage points in Oklahoma. Trump has at times struggles to gain traction even with Conservative voters in the state. Trump lost Oklahoma’s Republican primary to his GOP rival Ted Cruz, a Senator from neighboring Texas.
And despite his wide gap in the state, his numbers to not reflect the margin of victory claimed by GOP presidential candidates in recent memory. The last three Republican presidential nominees—Romney, McCain and George W. Bush—each won almost two-thirds of the state’s popular vote. In the latest poll, Trump holds 51 percent of the vote, with Clinton at 36 percent and Libertarian Gary Johnson with 6 percent.
