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?

Seems like a decent way to ask the question.

Not to be, um, skeptical ... but I definitely want to see another poll here.

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.

What is Hays Research's history and do they usually poll for one party or another?

I've seen some pretty absurd polls, but this one takes the cake!

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.

Looks like it's a poll of adults, not even registered voters.

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.
