With less than a week before election day, Donald Trump is widening his lead in Oklahoma's Republican primary race, according to a poll released Wednesday.
The real estate mogul is holding an eight-point lead over Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, with 29 percent to Rubio's 21 percent, according to the poll. That lead has widened from just 5 percent two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Rubio has overtaken Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who was in second place two weeks ago with 25 percent. Cruz polled at 20 percent in this week's poll.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson came in fourth, with 6 percent, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich was fifth, with 5 percent. Another 18 percent told pollsters they remained undecided, and 2 percent said they planned to vote for another candidate.

Choo-choo.
I’d prefer a larger Trump lead...esp in OK.
I can understand the appeal of CanuckTed....but how in the heck is RubiNO polling so high?
Folks, if you're reading this, you know what needs to happen.
If you can, please support the forum at this time. Thank you.
Trump is basically at the same level he was two weeks ago, one point down. Rubio is exactly where he was two weeks ago. Cruz has dropped five points. 18% remains undecided, ten points higher than two weeks ago. Oklahoma appears to be a race that will be decided in the last 48 hours by the undecideds. Tomorrow’s debate could have a significant impact.
Oh my. This was a state Cruz was suppose to be in contention. Looks like Rubio is taking the 2nd spot. GO TRUMP GO
I would too, but Oklahoma is one of the most conservative states in the nation which may reduce Trump's potential lead a bit (it shouldn't, I know). That said, I think he'll win Oklahoma.
It is the most conservative state in the country and we pretty much like it that way. Also has good BBQ!

Of the states where Cruz would be best suited on Super Tuesday, you’d figure Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas would be the top three. He’s leading in TX. Last poll had Cruz up in Arkansas.
A third place in OK would not bode well.
Send the POS back to the jackass party where he belongs!
