Alaska Senate Poll: Democrat Mary Peltola Leads Incumbent Republican
A recent poll indicates that Democratic former Representative Mary Peltola holds a narrow lead over Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska’s 2026 U.S. Senate race, potentially altering the political landscape in this typically Republican state. The Alaska Survey Research poll, conducted before Peltola’s official announcement, showed her leading Sullivan by over 1.5 percentage points. This has the potential to make the race against Sullivan competitive. With the Democrats facing a difficult Senate map in the upcoming midterms, Alaska could become a crucial state in determining control of the Senate.
