Quote
A new Hays Research poll in Alaska shows Scott McAdams (D) surging ahead of Joe Miller (R) in the U.S. Senate race, 29% to 23%, allowing the unnamed write-in candidate -- most of which are presumably for Sen. Lisa Murkowski -- to lead the contest with 34%, with undecided voters still at 13%.

"With a 68% disapproval rating, and Miller's trend line looking like the flight of the Hindenberg even before the latest scandal hit the news, the chances of him actually pulling it off and winning this election are slim."

This is certainly an interesting race.

After factoring in the write-in penalty, McAdams might actually be leading this race.  How did the survey treat Murkowski?  Was there no prompting whatsoever?

“If the election for U.S. Senate were held today, and the candidates were Joe Miller, Scott McAdams, Frederick Haase, Tim Carter, Ted Gianoutsos, or another candidate you have to write in, for whom would you vote, or are you undecided?

Seems like a decent way to ask the question.

They treated the question of "how do you poll Murkowski" well, but I disagree that it's a well-constructed poll question in general. They failed to attach party designations to the names, and that's a glaring omission.

On edit: It appears that this is not the first time their polling has shown Miller in third.

I don't think so, really. Miller has ran one of the worst campaigns since Martha Coakley, and is, uh, a flawed candidate, to put it lightly.

Miller is terribly flawed, but if Murkowski throws this race away due to her own vanity she should be punished.  I like what happened to William Wallace.

This might turn out to be the Hawaii presidential race of 2004, real close to flipping to the other party. I really, really hope McAdams can win this.

I could go ask six people on the street how they feel about the race and it would be about as legitimate as this "poll."

The poll obviously has a lot of... issues... but I wouldn't be too surprised if Miller started nosediving. Even Alaskans can only take so much crazy. Hopefully someone else polls here before Tuesday.

     A poll of adults for an election in five days? Now that's pointless.

LMAO @ Miller's disapprovals.
He's just a senate candidate and he is in >60% range.
