AK (PPP) - Sullivan +5

[S019]

Still Lean R, but an incumbent at 39%, against a candidate with poor name recognition is very ominous.

Sullivan only won by 3% in 2014, a Republican wave year, and he has been an unimpressive Senator who has voted strictly party-line on every issue-in contrast to Murkowski (and we can see what position she is in). So this shouldn't be too surprising. I too, still think that he is favored, but he could very well be poised for another narrow plurality win.

I was looking up more about Al Gross, and of course election Wikipedia already has this poll up on the 2020 AK Senate election page. lol

[Mr. Illini]

Murkowski polling better with Democrats than her own party is reminiscent of Mark Kirk here in Illinois post-2013 or so.

Obviously the two states couldn’t be more different, but we saw how Kirk’s next election went.

Lmao. I interned for Kirk's office in 2016, and the number of times we had angry Trump supporters yelling at him being a "RINO"...

That's a lot of undecideds but even so I think we Democrats are getting a bit too overambitious by thinking that Sullivan could lose or that the state could flip at the national level. However, it is at least something that Young is trailing in the at-large congressional district election.

As for Murkowski, she seems to have put herself in a Meghan McCain position where she managed to alienate everybody and appeal to nobody. She should probably retire if she wants to save face politically. Of course, that means she'd be most likely succeeded by an absolute nut. But hopefully by that point Democrats won't need her as a not-so reliable swing vote anymore.
