A poll by Remington Research Strategies for Must Read Alaska shows former Governor Sarah Palin leading at 31%, former Dem US Senate candidate Al Gross in second at 26% (now running as officially independent), and Republican scion of an Alaska Dem political family, Nick Begich III in third at 21% for the special election to replace recently departed Congressman Don Young.
Must Read asserts that, due to the vagaries of the ranked choice ballot system and the poll’s finding that Trump’s endorsement of Palin actually hurts and does not help her, Gross actually has a solid shot of taking the seat – which would be a nice consolation prize after Nazi shitbag Senator Dan Sullivan hung on to his seat in 2020 with some pretty blatantly anti-semitic ad buys.
