AK-AL POLL: Congressman Nick Begich Leading Liberal Bill Hill
A new poll shows that Congressman Nick Begich leads liberal Bill Hill by 8 points, 48% – 40%, on the first choice ballot in Alaska’s At-Large Congressional District.
Congressman Begich’s lead has doubled since September and the poll has Begich winning the final ranked choice round 54%-46%. Of note, the share of Alaska voters calling Bill Hill “progressive” climbed from 22% to 52% and his very unfavorable rating has more than doubled from 11% to 25%.

“Congressman Nick Begich is delivering for Alaska, while Democrat Bill Hill is offering nothing but more of the same failed liberal agenda. Begich made history in his first term by passing a record amount of legislation to lower costs, unleashing Alaska’s resources, and putting Alaskans first. Bill Hill would be another rubber stamp for Washington Democrats and the radical far left. The contrast is clear and this November, Alaskans will re-elect Congressman Nick Begich.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
