Less than a month before the state's presidential primary, Republican front-runner Donald Trump appears to be losing steam in Oklahoma, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Trump continues to lead an eight-candidate Republican field, with 30 percent of Oklahoma GOP voters reporting that they planned to vote for the New York billionaire, down from 35 percent in a poll released Jan. 23.

"Early on, Trump's been able to channel the anger and frustration felt among Republicans toward President Obama, but anger and frustration can only take you so far in a presidential race," said Bill Shapard, founder of SoonerPoll, an Oklahoma City-based firm that conducted the poll.

Meanwhile, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz held steady at 25 percent while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio surged, rising from 10 percent in late January to 21 percent this week....

At this stage: EVERYTHING MATTERS!! Please don’t anyone claim to say ‘I don’t care’ That statement will be the end to all of US and our AMERICA. We MUST care, otherwise why are any spending so much money and time? Oklahoma does have some liberals. They are no more 100 percent Conservative than Texas. Liberals and moderates have infested all of our 57 OOPS! 50 states.

Trump’s in trouble. But he’s leading
He’s numero uno,...but he’s slipping.

You are the one being silly and idiotic with your moronic “every one I know loves Trump so the poll can’t be right” nonsense. That is irrelevant.

So, this poll included the Iowa bump for Rubio but not the NH bump for Trump.

“Oklahoma does have some liberals.”

Yes indeed. Look no farther than Tulsa County.

If Trump don’t win Oklahoma you can rest assured Cruz will.
Catholic Rubio has no shot in cowboy country.

I'm for Cruz, but who has the best chance of succeeding the stardom of The Gipper?

(Much less beating two Socialists). Trump or Cruz?
