Miller leads in Alaska

Joe Miller is favored heading into the final two days of the US Senate campaign in Alaska. 37% of voters say they'll pick him while 30% plan to vote for Scott McAdams and another 30% plan to write in Lisa Murkowski. Miller is winning despite having the worst personal favorability numbers of the three candidates. Only 36% have a positive opinion of him while 59% view him in a negative light. McAdams is by far the most popular with 50% rating him favorably to only 30% with an unfavorable one. Voters aren't very enamored with Murkowski either, giving her a 37/53 approval rating.

How can McAdams be so much more popular than Miller yet still be trailing the race? It's because 92% of the small group of voters that does like Miller is planning to vote for him. But only 56% of the voters with a positive opinion of McAdams are intending to cast their ballots for him, while 31% of them are going for Lisa Murkowski.

The high number of voters who like McAdams, dislike Miller, and are voting for Murkowski place the race in a whole different light than has been thought of the last few months. Murkowski's campaign, rather than propping herself up at the expense of Miller, may actually end up propping Miller up at the expense of McAdams. You never know how things would have unfolded in a two way race but Murkowski seems to be taking a lot more voters away from McAdams than she is from Miller.

She is about to find out about one of those hard lessons...
she can’t have everything she wants just because SHE thinks
she’s entitled because of Daddy.

I look forward to her downfall. She DOES deserve that!

I saw a segment on FOX News some weeks ago that in Alaska, male candidates with facial hair fare better than male candidates who are clean shaven. For real.

She has since denied that she will-must have gotten some very bad reaction!

We will see how she handles her lameduck status.

I posted this fraud's twitter (tweet) on another thread earlier today.

Recall that PPP is the pollster hired by KOS and the slug who runs it has been trying to back-track ever since Sarah unleashed her wrath beginning with her FaceBook entry yesterday and culminating this morning with two simple words:

CORRUPT BASTARDS.

I am too tired to find my post. I think I can find his twitter page to link:YES - READ IT HERE!

My guess is that if the race is close, there will be all sorts of lawsuits filed, in an effort to get those votes counted for Lisa Murkowski that are not spelled properly; and this, in violation of Alaska state law on the matter, as I understand it.

The only way to obviate that potential problem is for Miller to win by a wide enough margin as to render the question moot...

I think having facial hair in Alaska would be a plus more than in any other state (perhaps Idaho excepted).

I grew my beard in the 70's in Alaska and I still have it 30+ years later in Idaho :D

Those numbers are close enough it could go one of three ways...including the worst scenario of a McAdams victory - Murkowski may very well deliver this to a Democrat with her shananigans.

miller was ALWAYS going to win this, anyone who believed otherwise is living under a rock.

This is ALASKA, not Delaware.

“He should be doing EVERYTHING he can to present himself as Senatorial.”

Mebbe if he had shaved it 18 months ago - not now!

37% plan to vote for him, but he has only a 36% have a favorable opinion of him. This is a strange election.

I just watched Merquosquie on Gretta and Merquosquie alluded to the possibility of caucusing with the democrats in the Senate. Another Senate seat to the democrats.

“’Murk’ is so desperate she is saying she will join with Democrats, hoping to get Democrat votes.”

Wait a sec, isn’t she already a Democrat? /sarc

That may be true for the most part, but I think Alaska may be different. It just seems like a beard kinda place.

However, I have never been there, so I could be totally wrong.

‘This raises the question of how she will vote in the lame duck session. And a question for GOP leadership, “Why, oh why, did you not strip Murkowski of her committee assignments when she announced an independent run?” And what will they do now...???’

Very telling, huh??

He may even have been advised to shave it but ignored the advice. Not a good sign.

Ummm - so you think it's not a good sign that he's his own man? Most military men are.

You think it would be better if he looked to others as to how to look, dress, etc?

Also, he's in Alaska. It's cold up there - maybe you knew? And a lot of beards - many will identify. He's not running in NYC.

In the winter, the wind and cold can freeze - literally - your face in minutes.

Todd "Dude" often has a beard - and I doubt anyone would give him any suggestions about it - not more than once. ;o)

I'd trust someone who make his own personal decisions over someone who 'puppets.'
