A New Poll Indicates that Murkowski's Write-In Campaign to Retain Senate Seat Could Succeed. AP, 9/30/10. "A new poll shows Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski in a tight race with Republican rival Joe Miller… The CNN/Time poll asked respondents who they'd be more likely to vote for if the election were held today and the candidates were Miller and Democrat Scott McAdams. Or, it asked respondents, would they write-in Murkowski's name. Among 927 likely voters polled, Miller got 38%, Murkowski 36% and McAdams, 22%... Murkowski is waging a write-in campaign after losing the primary to Miller. Her name won't be on the ballot. State Democrats doubt the results, saying pollsters didn't simulate a true write-in bid because they mentioned Murkowski by name."
