Joe Miller is favored heading into the final two days of the US Senate campaign in Alaska. 37% of voters say they'll pick him while 30% plan to vote for Scott McAdams and another 30% plan to write in Lisa Murkowski.
... It's because 92% of the small group of voters that does like Miller is planning to vote for him. But only 56% of the voters with a positive opinion of McAdams are intending to cast their ballots for him, while 31% of them are going for Lisa Murkowski.
The high number of voters who like McAdams, dislike Miller, and are voting for Murkowski place the race in a whole different light than has been thought of the last few months. Murkowski's campaign, rather than propping herself up at the expense of Miller, may actually end up propping Miller up at the expense of McAdams. You never know how things would have unfolded in a two way race but Murkowski seems to be taking a lot more voters away from McAdams than she is from Miller.
It appears that Murkowski will lose this race ...

I read an article today saying that Murkowski mad an announcement today that she is breaking from the GOP in order to sway McAdams voters into voting for her! Any word how the Republicans who have been backing her feel about this split?
Steven, prior to her announcement, only 27% of Repubs still wanted to vote for her; they feel she broke faith with them when she began running as an independent. It's highly doubtful that the latest blast from the power-hungry lady will help.
