Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's endorsement last week has helped conservative Oklahoma Senate candidate T.W. Shannon shave 26 points from his deficit to close within nine points of Rep. James Lankford. This was revealed in a newly released Public Opinion Strategy poll of Oklahoma GOP primary voters that was conducted four days after her endorsement. In a February poll of likely GOP primary voters in Oklahoma, Shannon trailed Lankford by 35 points (16%-51%). A month later, Shannon trails Lankford by nine points (28%-37%), knocking 26 points from Lankford's lead. The survey, which was commissioned by Oklahomans for a Conservative Future, which supports Shannon, also found that 7% support Randy Brogdon. Shannon is also surging among voters who have a favorable view of the Tea Party.
The poll found that Palin, who has the highest favorability rating among GOP presidential primary voters, also does extremely well with Oklahoma Republicans with a "75% favorable/14% unfavorable image with Oklahoma GOP primary voters." That is why former South Carolina Senator and Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint said that Palin's endorsement has the most impact in GOP primaries.
On top of that, Shannon, arguably the most conservative House Speaker in Oklahoma's history, has been introducing himself with positive ads and direct mail. As a result, Shannons name ID has gone from 59% to 74% and his favorables from 30% to 48%. His unfavorables are only at 5%.
"After starting the campaign as the equivalent of an NCAA Cinderella-wannabe, T.W. Shannon has become the momentum it takes to beat the number one seed, represented by James Lankford," Public Opinion Strategies concluded in its analysis. The survey was conducted March 16-17 and has a margin of error of +/- 4.38 percentage points

Palin has integrity and true, honest conservative values. This country would be much better off with Palin replacing Rove in influencing which candidates win elections.
Is Sarah Palin one of those who only endorse people who are already in politics? I had -0- response in effort after effort to reach her. Of course, I wasn’t a political elite, either.
BTTT
Thank you so much for replying!
I love Palin and agree with everything you say.
I personally think she will make more of a Moses than a Joshua, pointing the direction to the promised land.
Heck, I’m trying to find a way of buying her RV.
BTTT
I just donated..
God bless and keep you.
You’re the best.
Yep!
Will probably be donating again before this election is over!
He Sounds like a good one!!! :D
He is!
I know him personally. And he’s the real deal.
That is good to hear!
You are judged by the Company you keep! So T.W. Shannon must be a good one :D
When I met Sarah Palin I told her we loved her on F.R. and she said "I Know!"
Onyx got to tell her more, but sadly I can't remember all of it, I hope she will share. :)
Rand Pauls endorsement of McConnell is just mind-boggling, but it happened, nonetheless.
*****************
Now we know why Rand Paul has endorsed Mitch McConnell

I remember hearing/watching T.W. Shannon at last year’s CPAC and being very impressed with him.
Go T.W.!!!
I wish the TV channel she is developing was on regular or satellite TV at least.
Thanks, Onyx. I will donate in morning.
And I thought Palin was a poison, to be avoided, mocked, and ignored. Hope the gap keeps shrinking and this Lankford RINO gets stuffed out.
