OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (July 16, 2026) — CD-5 Congressional Candidate Jena Nelson is leading Representative Stephanie Bice by four points according to the results of a new poll. 

The poll also found that Donald Trump’s favorability in the District has plummeted with 54 percent of respondents saying they had a somewhat to very unfavorable opinion of the President. 

“I’m pleased by the results of this poll, but I’m not surprised. DC Stephanie has largely abandoned the voters in her District; it’s been almost five years since her last in-person town hall on August 25, 2021,” said Nelson. “This campaign has spent a year doing real, grassroots work meeting voters where they are. While my opponent is busy bragging about how much Super PAC money she’s raised from her DC-insider backers, the people are concerned about the exploding cost of living, healthcare access and protecting social security and medicare.”

Polling also revealed that voters are motivated to vote in November. More than 90 percent of respondents said they were extremely or very motivated to cast their ballots in the upcoming midterm election. 

On economic issues, voters said Trump’s policies negatively impacted their pocketbooks (60 percent) and were largely against his military activities. 

When asked about A.I. data centers, 61 percent of respondents said they were a threat to local resources or wanted a full ban on the facilities. An additional 20 percent said they wanted more regulations on the centers. 

“These big tech A.I. data centers represent a threat to local communities and counties. A new study from OSU shows that by 2030, they will demand an additional 1.6 billion gallons of water every single day in capacity,” said Nelson. “These facilities also raise electrical rates for regular consumers and the technology they enable is taking good-paying jobs, especially from young people. That’s not okay with me.”

The poll was conducted July 9-10 and included 868 likely voters living in CD-5. The margin of error is +/- 3.3 percent. A full breakdown of the poll results is available using the link below.
