AK-Hays Research: Stevens and Young in trouble

[Sam Spade]

Uh, this poll would indicate to me that Young is in a lot of trouble and Stevens may be in trouble, but I can't count Stevens in any "trouble" column until he receives an actual Demcratic opponent (who is not a joke).  +6 approval is quite different than -14 approval in my book.

On the plus side for Dems, it looks like Young may still be strong enough to avoid being primaried.

Would you consider Mark Begich a strong candidate if he decides to enter the race?

Strong for the Alaska Democratic party, which of course isn't saying much...  But yes, I would look at the race seriously if that were to happen (and a couple of other bad things were to happen to Stevens).
