Rasmussen writes “Coming off the heels of her pronounced victory in the Republican primary against incumbent Frank Murkowski, Sarah Palin (R) is readily handling her next round of competition—former Governor Tony Knowles (D)—in her bid to become Alaska’s next governor. The latest Rasmussen Reports election survey shows Palin leading Knowles 52% to 38%.”

According to “Governor Forecast 2006” by Jonathan Singer posted September 8, 3:00 PM on the My Direct Democracy web site (MyDD,) mayor Palin is “Likely” to be the next governor of Alaska.
Some credence can be put to this prognostication because if there was anyway that MyDD could rationalize a Democrat prevailing, MyDD would do it.
According to Mr. Singer’s post, Alaska’s gubernatorial race this fall is listed as “Likely Republican:”
12. Alaska (Democrat: Tony Knowles). This race showed a lot of potential given the candidacy of former Democratic Governor Tony Knowles, the sub-20 percent approval rating of Republican Governor Frank Murkowski.
But now that Murkowski is out having lost badly in the GOP primary to former Wasilla mayor Sarah Pallin (sic), this race leans Republican.
Latest polling: Rasmussen Reports, Palin 52 - Knowles 38, September 8; Dittman Research, Palin 46 - Knowles 29, September 6.
