In the past month, the federal trial of Ted Stevens, Alaska’s longtime senior Republican senator, began in Washington. He has been indicted by federal authorities for allegedly hiding more than $250,000 in illegal gifts from an oil company. Stevens, who has pleaded innocent, is locked in a tight race for reelection.McCain has the support of 90% of Alaska Republicans while Obama is backed by 81% of Democrats and nine percent (9%) of GOP voters. The Democrat has a four-point edge among unaffiliated voters, which represents a significant turnaround from a month ago when McCain led among this group by 18 points.
McCain leads among male voters by 22 points and, unlike in many states, also among women voters. In Alaska, he leads among women by nine points (see full demographic crosstabs).
Sixty-four percent (64%) of Alaska voters have a favorable opinion of McCain, while 36% regard him unfavorably. Obama is viewed favorably by 48% and unfavorably by 51%. This is a slight worsening of the numbers for McCain and an improvement for Obama.
Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 is the only Democratic presidential candidate who has ever won in Alaska since it became a state in 1959.
