A new poll conducted by Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research for AARP suggests a competitive race for Alaska’s U.S. Senate seat. The data, released on Thursday, places former Democratic Representative Mary Peltola ahead of Republican incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan. According to the findings, Peltola holds 46 percent of voter support, while Sullivan trails at 41 percent. The remaining 7 percent of respondents remain undecided or are supporting other candidates.

While the poll provides a snapshot of the current political landscape in Alaska, it is important to note that polling data can fluctuate significantly as election cycles progress. The survey highlights a potential shift in voter preference, though it does not account for late-breaking developments or the impact of future campaign spending. As of now, neither candidate has issued a formal response to the specific figures released by the AARP, and the race is expected to remain a focal point for national political observers given Alaska’s unique ranked-choice voting system and the state's recent history of unpredictable election outcomes.
