Tshibaka, Murkowski virtually tied in new Alaska statewide poll

Anew AARP poll of the Alaska Senate race finds GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski and fellow Republican Kelly Tshibaka virtually tied less than two months ahead of Election Day.

And, in the House race, Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola — who won the special election to complete the term of the late Don Young just a month ago — led both of her Republican challengers by six percentage points, 53% to 47%.

Alaska uses a "Top 4" primary system, meaning the top four primary finishers, regardless of party, advance to the general election. This is why Tshibaka and Murkowski, two Republicans, are pitted against each other in the Senate general election.

They also face Democrat Pat Chesbro. The fourth candidate to advance from the primary was Republican Buzz Kelley, but he dropped out of the race earlier this week. He was still an active candidate when this poll was conducted.
