The Magellan Poll reported that Romney had 29% of the support of surveyed voters while Gingrich was in a virtual statistical tie with 27%. By contrast, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomberg_News" title="Bloomberg News" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Bloomberg News</a> poll conducted less than a week before the Magellan Poll put Romney's support in New Hampshire at 40% and Gingrich at 11%.

In a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter" title="Twitter" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Twitter</a> tweet, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Journal" title="National Journal" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">National Journal</a> Online polling editor Steven Shepherd revealed that the Magellan Poll had made significant sampling errors, by over-sampling senior citizens. Twenty-eight percent of the respondents of The Magellan Poll in question had been voters aged 65 years or older, whereas Shepherd cited a 2008 Republican exit poll as a baseline in which that demographic group only accounted for 15% of respondents.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magellan_Data_and_Mapping_Strategies#cite_note-4" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[4]</a> The Magellan Poll also under-sampled voters in the 18-34 range. Additionally, the poll was conducted as a robo-call targeting landline telephones and ignored cell phones. Michael Brendan Dougherty of Business Insider characterized it as "a useless poll beyond generating over-cooked headlines."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magellan_Data_and_Mapping_Strategies#cite_note-5" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[5]</a>

A story in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times" title="New York Times" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">New York Times</a> on December 16 reported "Signs of trouble emerged for Mr. Romney in New Hampshire on Nov. 18, the day a poll in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_New_Hampshire_Journal&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="The New Hampshire Journal (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background: none;">The New Hampshire Journal</a> showed for the first time that Mr. Romney and Mr. Gingrich were essentially tied, defying months of data that had suggested Mr. Romney’s lead in the state was unassailable. His aides, who had considered the state a political firewall, were suddenly spooked, said two people who have advised the campaign. The campaign dug into the numbers, and found what they considered flaws, but also unmistakable evidence of an ascent by Mr. Gingrich. A person who has advised Mr. Romney in the past said, "That rattled them".<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magellan_Data_and_Mapping_Strategies#cite_note-6" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[6]</a>

The state is always looking for ways to save money and one political think tank is offering answers to the budget dilemma. The Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, or OCPA, released its annual budget book offering suggestions to lawmakers on how the state could save your tax dollars.

The budget book shows how lawmakers could save $300 million in the next year. However not all the solutions are easily accepted by policymakers. Some criticize OCPA as being too conservative. Leaders at OCPA say it is a nonprofit, non-partisan think tank and admits it isn’t always popular with conservative lawmakers who control the House and Senate.

“They also spent money on things like rodeos, roping contests, festivals, fairs and aquariums,” said OCPA’s Jonathan Small pointing out earmarks put into previous budgets, “All kind of in a back room without clearly letting people know where that money is going.”

Small says one of the biggest things the state could do to save money wouldn’t actually cut anything. In fact, it would give state employees more options and could save the state $100 million. Those options would include where they could get outpatient surgeries performed. Right now state law limits the state’s insurance program, but OCPA would like the state to be able to negotiate surgery prices by allowing employees to go to places like “The Surgery Center.”

“The state has to finally improve the way it provides health insurance for employees,” Small told Fox 25, “Those are easy changes that wouldn’t cut care for anyone, but would save taxpayer dollars and make the program work better.”
