AK-PPP: Begich Looking Good

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

God, I haven't posted a poll in nearly 5 months. I miss 2012

Senator Begich is leading all but one challenger in the 2014 Alaska Senate Race; Sean Parnell.
-Indies and GOP support give him a +10% 49/39 Approval Rating.
-His leads against potential challengers range from 6-28 points, and he's near 50 in all matchups.
-Alaskans want Parnell to stay in the Governor's Mansion instead of going to Washington, including 56% of GOPers. And he leads potential Dems by 9-26 points.

That's good, because Democrats under-perform their polls in Alaska.

Since when? The last PPP poll for the 2010 Gubernatorial race had Parnell up by 11 and he ended up winning by 22 points. The Atlas average in the Senate race had McAdams at 27% and he only got 23%.

Republicans will have a lot of ammo to use against him - once name recognition goes up and the GOP starts tying to Begich to Obama, this race will go to toss-up.

Plus, it's a PPP poll, and they WAY overstate Democratic numbers, at least early on.

We're your absent during all of 2012 and 2010? PPP was one of the most accurate polls and had a GOP bias.
