Mark Begich, another Obama licking Democrat is in deep trouble. According to the latest Rasmussen poll, Begich trails Republican challenger Mead Treadwell 47% to 43%. Another GOP challenger who could win August’s Alaska primary is Dan Sullivan who polls even with Begich at 44%. The biggest news from this poll is that an incumbent like Mark Begich is only polling in the low 40s against his Republican challengers. Incumbents who poll under 50% in Senate races, especially this far away from the election are usually in deep trouble.
