New Alaska Poll (PPP, B): Biden -5, Gross -3,

A new Public Policy Polling survey finds that health care is shaping up to be a potentially decisive issue in the Alaska Senate race. A total of 86% of voters say it’s either the most important issue (20%), a very important issue (40%), or a somewhat important issue (26%) when deciding who to vote for in the Senate race –this includes 78% of Republican voters and 90% of independent voters. Voters trust Al Gross over Dan Sullivan on key issues related to healthcare and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and disagree with key Republican positions on healthcare. 50% of voters say they do not think the ACA should be struck down by the courts, including 62% of independent voters, which is leading to trouble for Dan Sullivan:

● A plurality of 46% of voters say they’re less likely to vote for Sullivan due to his vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act with no replacement, including 56% of independent voters.

● 44% say they trust Al Gross more on the issue of health care (including 58% of independent voters) while 40% say they trust Dan Sullivan more.
