The wild three-way Senate race in Alaska now appears to be a two-person fight for the top spot, according to a new poll.

A CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday indicates that 38 percent of likely voters in the state support GOP nominee Joe Miller, with 36 percent saying they back Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who was narrowly defeated by Miller in last month's GOP primary.

Murkowski is now running as a write-in candidate in the general election.

According to the poll, 22 percent back Sitka Mayor Scott McAdams, the Democratic nominee, with four percent either undecided or not supporting any of the three candidates listed in the survey.

No way that many actually bother to write her in. Joe Miller's got this.

It names Murkowski in the question, which mean it is not a legit poll.

Their polling director has readily admitted to skewing results in the past to get the results they wanted.

Exactly. Any good poll would similate the conditions voters actually face when they're in the voting booth, and they won't see Murkowski's name on the ballot. Still, this just shows that Murkowski would be losing even if her name were listed.

The poll has been debunked already. They placed her as if she were on the actual ballot, but she isn't, so it is actually a 2-way race. Miller should have this.

alaska is about to do something sorta like what florida is doing now? if the race is going 3~way, could miller pull thru?
