CRACIUN RESEARCH POLL ON ALASKA US SENATE RACE Historic race proves difficult for Tea Party Candidate Joe Miller. One week after Lisa Murkowskis announcement to run as a write-in candidate, she pulls ahead in the race for US Senate. The GOP Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, is trying to keep her seat in the Senate with a write-in campaign, she leads the field with 41% of voters choosing her over Republican nominee Joe Miller, 30%, and Democrat Scott McAdams at 19%.

I posted it because it’s a new poll on a very interesting race. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the Dems start to really rally behind Murkowski if she’s consistently ahead of the Dem candidate. Miller could use some money.
You know, as a write-in, you have to spell her name exactly as it is on the ballot.
It's her charm overwhelming the public.
Doesn’t bother me except the same person always posts them.
Well, if it was Rasmussen, I might doubt it, but CRACIUN RESEARCH has such an impeccable reputation that I’m really worried now.
That is possible.
Writing in a candidate’s name requires more effort than checking a box, filling in a bubble, or however Alaska does it. How many people say they’ll vote for Murkowski but then get to the ballot box and say “screw it”?
I don’t buy that she’s ahead anyway, but on election day I don’t think she’ll ultimately even come close.
gumbyandpokey = disregard
I don’t know about you, but I never believe a poll until I see confirmation from CRACIUN RESEARCH.
300 people. Would like to see the questions. Ever heard of push polls?
Crack is about the only thing I can think of that would generate these kind of poll results.
A write in candidate is going to take 41% at the polls?
BTW, my wife is out looking for a hot, over sexed 30 year old to move in with us because she knows how happy that would make me.
The polling company’s home page features a testimonial from Alaska rat senator Mark Begich:
“Jean Craciun is a sociologist and her firm Craciun Research has been doing business in Alaska for over twenty years. I have had the opportunity to work with Ms. Craciun many times, most recently on my campaign for United States Senator in 2008. It was a good experience which brought together not only the best from Alaska but from Washington DC as well. Ms. Craciun was always a team player and worked with us in the qualitative research area assisting with campaign focus groups to direct strategy toward message development and media buys. Jean Craciun is a well respected pollster in Alaska.”
That explains a lot.
Not a very well-endowed poll, is it ?
This one poll will keep me awake tonight.
THIS POSTER IS AN ASTOTURFER/LEFTIST PLANT...SEE HIS RECENT POSTS..HERE IS A SAMPLE:
On Obamas polls: These numbers go back and forth, just the way it is. Obama will never get to the low levels that Bush had, imo.
On Angle: Angle could have had as much free TV media as she wanted after her primary win... Instead, she chose to sit back and let Reid use her as a punching bag for weeks on end. Voters dont like a candidate who vanishes from sight for long periods of time (like Martha Coakley).
On Angle ads: I was just in Las Vegas for a week and you are inundated with Reid/Angle ads each commercial break. The only thing I really noticed is that Angles ads are really cheap looking.
On Palins homerun speech the other night: Im a huge Palin fan, but thought the speech was just OK. And the crowd WAS dead. There were a few times she tried to tell a joke and the C-Span cameras focused on people who looked like they would rather be anywhere else.
On Bristol DWS and Palin hatred: Bristol certainly danced well enough to last a few more weeks. But Im not sure if the Palin hatred in the country will prevent her from getting the needed votes to keep her around long.
On ODonnell: Im afraid shes toast. You just dont make up 15 pts with a snap of a finger. I would have voted for her in the primary, but that witchcraft story just blunted any positive momentum she had.
That is exactly the reason this clown posted this...he/she is a rat plant/astoturfer
What the heck is “Cracium”, the esquimo word for “crackhead”?
