Alaska Republican Kelly Tshibaka leads Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) by double digits in the race for one of the state’s Senate seats, according to a poll released Monday.
Bye bye HAG!
quote:
Across all voters, only 33 percent have a favorable image of the Alaska Republican, and 63 percent have an unfavorable view of Murkowski. Among Republicans, only ten percent have a positive image of Murkowski, and 87 percent have an unfavorable view of her.
In contrast, 61 percent of Donald Trump voters approve of Tshibaka, 61 percent of Republicans approve of her, and 59 percent of conservatives view the Republican challenger in a positive light.

HAG once made it through by leveraging the family name along with Dems willing to cross over and vote for her.
Don’t see that working this time around.

This is going to be beautiful. I may cry.

Tshibaka is going to finally be the representation Alaska deserves. Send Murkowski to Nome.

What a shame. Lie with the dogs and you get fleas, Lisa.

Good news. Hopefully she gets beat . It’s time to send the rhinos home.

Will be interesting to see how the ranked choice voting and open jungle primaries work this next election.
Have to imagine every Dem out here will have Murkowski 1 or 2 depending on who represents the Dems

No she won't. She won't reach 50% plus 1.
She will be eliminated

In 2020, Alaska voters approved a ballot initiative establishing a top-four primary for state executive, state legislative, and congressional elections. The initiative also established ranked-choice voting for general elections for the aforementioned offices and the presidency.
Under Alaska's top-four primary system, all candidates for a given office run in a single primary election. The top four vote-getters, regardless of partisan affiliation, then advance to the general election.
Hag and her challenger will make it into the 4.
In general elections, voters rank the four candidates that advanced from the primaries. A candidate needs a simple majority of the vote (50 percent + 1) to be declared the winner of an election. If no candidate wins a simple majority of votes cast, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated from the running. Voters who selected that candidate as their first choice have their votes redistributed to their second choices. The tabulation process continues in rounds until a candidate receives a simple majority.

The measure will introduce primaries that are open to candidates with any or no political parties. The top four finishers will advance to the general elections, in which voters will be able to rank their choices. Candidates will win if they receive a majority of the first-preference votes. If none receives a majority on the first count, the votes for trailing candidates will be redistributed until a candidate receives a majority, or all ballots are exhausted.
The primary system has been completely overhauled to benefit Murkowski. It's a jungle primary with a ranked voting system. This was specifically adopted because Murkowski cannot win a closed primary. She is going to win again because the idiots up there approved a ballot measure allowing this ludicrous election scheme.

Walk me through it in any scenario where Murkowski wins.
She will not come close to beating her challenger.

This has happened before. She lost a primary and won as independent

Appears to have nice cans.

Again... with the new system voted on and into law in 2020, explain the scenario where she can win.
