Poll: Lisa Murkowski Losing to GOP's Kelly Tshibaka by Double Digits

2021-04-06

[Breitbart] 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.

Tshibaka, a former Alaska Department of Administration commissioner, leads Murkowski by roughly 15 points, or 33.6 points, to Murkowski’s 18.8 percent. Democrat Al Gross polls at 17.6 percent, and Alaska Independence Party John Howe polls at 5.7 percent, with 21.1 percent of voters remaining undecided.
The survey, conducted by Cygnal, found that Murkowski’s polling has plummeted since she voted to impeach President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has awfully long coattails for a president who lost his reelection.

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,

...strongly suggesting that all Alaska Republicans except the honourable senator herself are Trump voters...

and 59 percent of conservatives

...a number within the usual error bars for such surveys...

view the Republican challenger in a positive light.

"Lisa Murkowski is in as weak of a position as an incumbent could possibly find themselves in. A strong Republican candidate is poised to defeat Murkowski. Kelly Tshibaka is that candidate," Brock McCleary, the vice president of Cygnal, wrote in a memo regarding the poll.
This poll includes potential Democrat and Independent challengers. Would have been more interesting to see just likely Republican voters, where I suspect Murkowski does even worse. I predict retirement and possible sinecure in the Biden administration.

#8 In the Book of Judges, it is stated that Deborah was a prophet, a judge of Israel and the wife of Lapidoth. She rendered her judgments beneath a date palm tree between Ramah in Benjamin and Bethel in the land of Ephraim.

#7 She says she is a Deborah.

What does that mean? I hope it's not like being a Karen.

#6 Didn't see much on her either. Hopefully she doesn't flame out as the race heats up like other hopefuls. If she can keep from setting herself on fire with stupid comments she will win.

#3 Anti-party actions have consequences, LM will loose to KT. Voting against your party and its leader, tantamount to sneaking out on your significant other for a quick fling, for a quick ding. They ultimately end up with nothing.
