AK: Races Closing
Ted Stevens isn't done yet, according to a new poll, and even Rep. Don Young is creeping back into competition. The Research 2000 poll, conducted 10/14-16, surveyed 600 likely voters for a margin of error of +/- 4%. Stevens and Mark Begich, the Democratic nominee, were tested, alongside the House matchup between Young and Ethan Berkowitz.
General Election Matchup
(All / Dem / GOP / Ind / Men / Wom)
Begich.......48 / 86 / 11 / 55 / 44 / 52 (-2 from last, 9/17)
Stevens......46 / 7 / 85 / 39 / 51 / 41 (+2)
Berkowitz....50 / 85 / 14 / 58 / 46 / 54 (-3)
Young........44 / 8 / 79 / 38 / 50 / 38 (+5)
Stevens' corruption trial continues in Washington, and if he is vindicated in the next week, he could zip ahead of Democrat Begich. Republicans aren't finished in Alaska just yet.
