Oddly, it's actually quite similar to both states. Points to say Mississippi would be the Southern culture, the black population, a humid climate, being very conservative. It's more like New Mexico in the sense it has a lot of Hispanics, some semi-arid land, Jack in the Box/Carl's Jr, and lots of Native Americans.

The very, very southeastern corner of Oklahoma shares some traits with Mississippi because there are a lot of African Americans and Choctaw Indians and southern culture. But that is probably the southern half of two counties (McCurtain and Choctaw).
The very, very northwestern tip of Oklahoma's panhandle is very much like eastern New Mexico because it shares a border with New Mexico, is Mesa country, and is very dry. But that is probably only one half of the western part of one county (Cimmaron)
The entire rest of the state is probably minimally like either state. Not as southern, not as southwestern as either by any stretch, but hints of both in the eastern (Mississippi) and western parts (eastern New Mexico) of Oklahoma
Good question. Despite being two states over, I don't see many similarities between Mississippi and Oklahoma. I feel like Mississippi has more in common with states further east like Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolina's. Go west of Little Rock, and the similarities with Mississippi fade away. Both states also have quite different histories.
Eastern Oklahoma is more like Arkansas and Missouri, areas like Tulsa. Oklahoma City and the rest of the state further west, probably more like Texas and New Mexico. Overall, I guess I'd go with New Mexico. Mississippi is much more southern than Oklahoma. However, I also feel like most Okies would feel more at home in Mississippi than New Mexico. This is a toughie.
Oklahoma is more like Texas over anything, that's very true. Tulsa strikes me as a little more like a city you'd find in Arkansas or Missouri, though. Oklahoma City, definitely more like Texas.
Oklahoma is more like Texas, however when I see neighborhoods on tv in OKC I sometimes think it's from the area I'm from in Eastern New Mexico because it looks exactly alike.

OKC is a lot greener than eastern New Mexico and we have the humidity to prove it.
Most Okies live in the OKC or Tulsa metro areas, and these two cities are definitely more like Memphis and Jackson than Albuquerque or Santa Fe.
The same goes for North Texas/DFW.
