The Alaska U.S. Senate race has seen a “significant shift” in favor of Republican nominee Dan Sullivan, according to new polling data from The New York Times.
Democratic freshman incumbent Mark Begich had been leading Sullivan, the state’s former attorney general and a former Bush administration official.
But a disastrous ad campaign by Begich recently upended the race, and now, based on updated data from an online panel The Times monitors in conjunction with CBS News and YouGov, Sullivan has seen an 18-point swing in his favor.

“The only significant shift came in Alaska, where the result flipped from Mark Begich, the Democrat, who used to lead by 12 points, to the Republican Dan Sullivan, who now leads by six,” The Times reported Sunday.

I thought Begich would survive. Looks like he just imploded, and good riddance. What a vile little puke
I guess real men and women didn’t like that ad campaign?
“Drastic”????? Maybe, dramatic.
Sullivan is for amnesty, abortion, a GOP version of Obamacare etc.
He defeated Miller with a pallet of dirty tricks and fraud.
He’s a Karl Rove kind of candidate. No thank you.
This here is gooood news.
The establishment has pushed up the most lefty GOPers they could find all across the country
Miller should not have bright a knife to a gun fight.
Sigh...
Another “Hold your nose” situation. No, I don’t want a Democrat senator from Alaska. But really, Is Sullivan any better? We are forced into the position of voting a referendum on Obama against the interests of our state. And what will we get if we send Sullivan to Washington? GOPe control of the Senate at best. This sucks.
And the way the E is waging this battle it looks like they have learned lessons from the Dems. Hope conservatives are taking notes.
GOPe has cheated their way to another election cycle. They don’t know yet just how many millions and millions they have soured or angered. They will find out over the next 2 years.
I won’t be happy until I see Rove and his ilk begging the DNC for a job.
We lose by design. We vote, we lose. We don’t vote, we lose.
But these are some losing battles. They haven’t won the war and I don’t think they will.
I thought so to, his wins have been usually squeekers.
The wave is abuilding......
