She's in a tough spot for political survival. Become too far right and she will ruin her brand. Too far left and she'll be outprimaried.

If the top four RCV is implemented in AL, there is no primary challenge and she can just run as an indy.  In 2022, if that happens it'll be like 2020 and she'll win by even more.

But again that is a pretty big IF. still not sure how likely it is that passes

It would probably help, but there's still no guarantee she'd get to the top two via RCV. Being more liked than Trump + a low approval rating might mean she just ends up being everyone's second choice and when there are two other viable first choices...

She just needs to keep doing her thing. I think this is an overreaction to one poll that was captured at a particular vulnerable time for her

There's another one being done later this month, apparently (not by ET), so we'll see (assuming they poll approval numbers for Murkowski, that is).

Edit: correction - I mean in the last week of August. A PPP poll will be commissioned by The Progress Campaign.

Bolt the GOP by declaring herself an independent & caucusing with the Democrats.
