There is a lot of information contained in the poll released this afternoon by the North Carolina polling firm, Public Polling Policy. The poll concentrates on possible two-way and three-way matchups in Alaska's November 2nd U.S. senate seat election, 63 days away. According to PPP's report, "PPP surveyed 1,306 likely voters on August 27th and 28th." On the 26th, we had an election.
On the 27th people were just beginning to figure out who Scott McAdams is.
On the 28th - over a weekend - questions were just beginning to emerge about Joe Miller's automobile accident Friday morning in Fairbanks. Until somebody uncovers the exact time of the accident, and connects that to his phone records for tweets and calls, what we may have here is another low information Alaska political poll that will end up being meaningless by the middle of the coming week.
Here are some important figures that came out in this poll:
52% of those polled reacted unfavorably to Joe Miller - before the Murkowski tweets and auto accident were made public. Only 12% hadn't yet made up their minds on how they view him.
53% of those polled had yet to frame any opinion of the all-but-unknown Mayor of Sitka, a town the size of Wasilla. Most probably knew almost nothing about McAdams.
In a two-way matchup between Miller and McAdams, here's their result:
If the candidates for US Senate this fall were Republican Joe Miller and Democrat Scott McAdams, who would you vote for?
Joe Miller ........................................................ 47%
Scott McAdams............................................... 39%
Undecided....................................................... 14%
Miller, coming in at less than 50%, just before a series of scandals are likely to keep on cascading, is in deep, deep, deep doo-doo.
You can donate to Scott here.
Here's his Unity Day Dinner speech, given last Thursday.
Spread the word:
Scott can beat the crap out of this twisted Teabagger with one hand tied behind Scott's back.
