Research 2000 for The Great Orange Satan (9/15-17, likely voters, 7/14-16 in parens):

Mark Begich (D): 50 (47)
Ted Stevens (R-inc): 44 (45)
(MoE: ±4%)
I never underestimate the ability of Republicans to rally around their own -- especially in Alaska -- but things are still looking good for Begich. How about the House race?


Ethan Berkowitz (D): 53 (51)
Don Young (R-inc): 39 (40)
(MoE: ±4%)
Looking even better. Kos also tested Berkowitz against Sean Parnell, and found that Berko held a 48-43 lead -- a sharp contrast with other recent polls that indicated that Parnell would have an edge in a general election match-up.

But still, I want to extend a warm thank you to Sean Parnell and the Club for Growth for gingerly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. A job well done, you nuts.

Bonus finding: In the Presidential race, McCain has a 55-38 lead over Obama.
