Poll: Palin Up by 5 Points in Alaska Congressional Race

Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin leads the field for Alaska's lone House seat, a new poll finds.

Palin, former governor of The Last Frontier State, has a five-point lead over independent Al Gross in the primary field, a Must Read Alaska survey found.

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Palin on April 3, soon after she entered the race.

A nonpartisan primary is scheduled for June 11. There will be 48 names on Alaska's primary ballot, though only those considered most viable for the Aug. 16 ranked-choice general election ballot were included in the poll.

Likely voters were asked, "Of several possible candidates in the 2022 election for Congress, if the election were held today, for whom would you vote?"
