Where the line starts

36.0%

Mark Myles, the last Democrat for AG, two-way against Mike Hunter in 2018. Jim Priest took 34.9% in 2010. No Democrat ran in 2022 or 2014.

The AG drag

-7.8 pts

Myles ran that far behind Drew Edmondson (43.7%) on the same 2018 ballots. He ran ahead of him in 0 of 77 counties. Apply the drag to any governor number and you have an AG projection; the Scenarios tab does.

Democratic ceiling and floor

43.0% · 32.5%

Hofmeister for governor 2022, then Harris 2024, two-way. Nelson for superintendent 2022 took 43.2%; Horn for Senate 33.3%. Oklahoma and Tulsa counties supplied 45.3% of the 2022 Democratic governor vote.

The June primary

55.0%

Echols 207,832 to Starling 170,061; Starling carried 9 counties. Drummond took 49.7% in the August runoff on the same side of the same party split, so Echols ran +5.3 points ahead of him statewide. Jeff Starling conceded on primary night, 16 June 2026, and said he would support Echols in the general election. No public sign of a holdout among his supporters was found.

Polls, ratings, debate

No independently confirmed public poll of the Echols-Coffey general election was found as of 16 September 2026. A CHS and Associates poll dated 3 to 6 August 2026 (Echols 52, Coffey 34, undecided 14, n=500) circulates in secondary summaries but does not appear on the pollster's own site, whose only Oklahoma AG release is the February primary poll (Echols 35, Starling 20). Treat the August figure as unverified.

No Cook Political Report or Inside Elections rating covers the Oklahoma Attorney General race. Sabato's Crystal Ball's national state-AG survey does not list Oklahoma among its competitive races; secondary summaries describe the Republican nominee as the heavy favorite. The exact tier label could not be confirmed (the page blocks direct access).

No general-election debate or forum between Echols and Coffey had been announced as of 16 September 2026. The one AG debate this cycle was the Republican primary debate on 18 May 2026 at the Will Rogers Theatre, Oklahoma City (KWTV).

What the count will answer

Questions with a reference value, scored on the night, never verdicts. Does Coffey run ahead of the Democrat for governor anywhere (2018: 0 counties)? Does the AG line's two-way land nearer the 32.5% floor or the 43.0% ceiling? Does Echols run ahead of the top of his own ticket, as Hunter did in 2018? How large is the AG-line undervote? Which of Starling's 9 counties, if any, show a Coffey bump? The full list with sources is on the Scenarios tab.
