Poll: Lisa Murkowski Underwater with Alaska GOP Voters as Primary Nears

Establishment Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is underwater with Alaskan Republican voters, according to a Monday Morning Consult poll.

Only 41 percent approved of Murkowski’s job performance, while 46 percent disapproved.

The polling comes as Murkowski, who is supported by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), hopes to defeat Donald Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka in the August 16 Republican primary. In March polling, Murkowski trailed Tshibaka (45.4 to 28.7 percent).

Murkowski’s campaign has been flooded with donations from large political action groups. Murkowski ended the second quarter with $6.1 million in her campaign account with a second quarter raise of $1.7 million. In contrast, Tshibaka has $1.1 million on hand and raised about $585,000 last quarter. Tshibaka’s campaign has raised a total $3.1 million.

McConnell, an ardent defender of the established order in Washington, DC, is one reason Murkowski has fundraised better than Tshibaka. “It’s important for Lisa to be reelected. She’s one of the few sort of moderates in the middle of the Senate,” McConnell said of his colleague in April. “We’re going to do everything we can to make sure she’s successful.”

But the pressure on Murkowski is mounting after she backed many Democrat priorities in the Senate, including implementing gun control, confirming Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, attempting to impeach former President Donald Trump, and helping President Biden pass massive spending bills.

As others have noted, she’s lost Primary’s before and then runs as an Independent, and has won.

Losing the Primary isn’t going to slow her down.

And as with Cheney, how much of that money came from out of State?

Out of State money to campaigns needs to end.
If you can't win with your own State citizen's money you don't need to run.

Furthermore, we ALL know the PAC's want something in return for all that campaign money.

Very good.

If she wasn’t drinking when she wanted to make out with Biden, then she’s a very sick individual.

Nailed it.

Federalist: Murkowski money mostly from Outside state

According to public campaign finance data compiled by OpenSecrets, nearly 85 percent of the senator’s contributions have come from out of state. Only 15 percent came from Alaskan residents in the current election cycle.
Just wrong on SO many levels.

Lasing the Primary isn't going to slow her down.

Yes it will.
See # 58.

Primary doesn’t mean anything to Lisa. Look out for her write-in campaign for the general. Hopefully it won’t be deja vu all over again.

Boy if anybody deserves to be voted out of office, Lisa Murkowski does. The other one is Susan Collins. Both are not Republicans. They are democrats labelled Republicans falsely. I hope the people in Maine do the same thing with Susan Collins.

Dumping the Kow and the Lez would make my year.

Murkowski is a moderate Democrat, just like Mitch.

You have Progressive Democrats and Progressive Republicans...
though the R's don't call themselves what they actually are.
They're "conservative", of course.

...I would be prouder of myself if I had gotten both pics to appear as the same size.

Force it. Add - height="200" (or width if you prefer...width="200") after your .jpg addy ends.
You can play with the number height/width to get the right look.

I’ve seen this song and dance movie before ....she always pulls the win out somehow. Seem Alaska is just a photocopy of the fraud states! She’ll win you heard it from me first.

Democrats will crossover and save her I suspect

[Dr. Franklin]

Thanks for the tip.

Very good.
If she wasn’t drinking when she wanted to make out with Biden, then she’s a very sick individual.

The Senate is a disturbing Old Boys and Girls Club. They love drinking with each other more than doing right by their constituents.

Anyone who is making political hit ads has my permission to use this theme. Consider adding the Jaws theme to that picture while focusing on how Murkowska is a swamp creature.

[philman_36]

My pleasure.

[Theodore R.]

Maybe Biden should journey to AK to campaign for Lisa.

[Theodore R.]

I believe Lisa will hold her seat because there are so many RINOs in AK. But there are fewer RINOs in WY, and Hageman should take it.

[vpintheak]

You’ve got way more confidence than I do. I went to the Trump rally in A-town, lots of excitement for him and all the supported candidates, for sure.
I do not have enough faith in my fellow Alaskans and the BS ranked choice scheme.

[enumerated]

Right - the Democrats know she’s one of them

[philman_36]

Irony...I mention Progressive Republicans and you show up with your user name...the same name as the premier Progressive Republican. The Progressive Party was a third party in the United States formed in 1912 by former president Theodore Roosevelt after he lost the presidential nomination of the Republican Party to his former protégé rival, incumbent president William Howard Taft.What are the odds of that?
My apologies if the R isn't for Roosevelt and if you didn't know that about the man if it is.
Sometimes our perceptions change with new insight.
