Quote: Stevens (R) 36 (46)
Begich (D) 58 (48) The biggest tactical blunder of this election was Stevens pushing for a speedy trial. Had he not panicked post-indictment and held steady, campaigning at home, he may have pulled this off. The trends were definitely headed that direction. Instead, his conviction has made him dead man walking while giving the Democrats a boost in the House race as well. Wow, what drama! You can see the reason for the topline results in Stevens' favorability numbers:

Quote: US Senate Race Stevens' rating has been very stable over the last six weeks, despite both his ongoing trial in Washington DC and being a target of a barrage of negative media funded by the DSCC. If anything, it is Begich's numbers which are deteriorating, with his positive reaching a low of 55% and his negative up over 30% for the first time. Given the closeness of the race, it appears that Alaskans are giving Stevens the benefit of the doubt for now, and are reserving judgment until a verdict is read in his trial. In the House race, we see the following tracking results, again with the ratings for the two candidates and the horserace, Berkowitz first:

Quote: In the past month, the federal trial of Ted Stevens, Alaska�s longtime senior Republican senator, began in Washington. He has been indicted by federal authorities for allegedly hiding more than $250,000 in illegal gifts from an oil company. Stevens, who has pleaded innocent, is locked in a tight race for reelection. McCain has the support of 90% of Alaska Republicans while Obama is backed by 81% of Democrats and nine percent (9%) of GOP voters. The Democrat has a four-point edge among unaffiliated voters, which represents a significant turnaround from a month ago when McCain led among this group by 18 points. McCain leads among male voters by 22 points and, unlike in many states, also among women voters. In Alaska, he leads among women by nine points (see full demographic crosstabs). Sixty-four percent (64%) of Alaska voters have a favorable opinion of McCain, while 36% regard him unfavorably. Obama is viewed favorably by 48% and unfavorably by 51%. This is a slight worsening of the numbers for McCain and an improvement for Obama. Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 is the only Democratic presidential candidate who has ever won in Alaska since it became a state in 1959.
This is a monthly synopsis of many more 2008 Alaska polls.
