Important Issues

In a small recent poll conducted in Oklahoma, researchers found that the majority of Oklahomans believe the economy to be the most pressing issue in the upcoming election, followed by war in Iraq as a close second.

In Oklahoma the majority of people hold jobs in the professional or manufacturing sector of the workforce, therefore other important issues to Oklahomans could be taxes and agriculture. According to the Oklahoma Prosperity Project, the election of pro-business Republicans or Democrats is vital to the economy.  They list as their number one issue the promotion of affordable healthcare for employees and their families.  They also talk of the necessity of lowering the costs of conducting business, keeping American competitive in the global economic arena, and creating a favorable tax climate.

So for Oklahoma in 2008 the election looks as if it will be focused on the economy; especially those aspects that relate to business, and the war in Iraq.
