According to a new Research 2000 poll, Sarah Palin would defeat incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in a Republican senatorial primary by 24 points. Here are the numbers.
Palin--55%
Murkowski--31%
So it looks like if Palin wants to go to Washington leading up to a 2012 run for the presidency, the job is hers. Murkowski has already warned Palin to stay away from the race, and that she would give Palin a "tough election."
This Research 2000 poll also pitted Palin and Murkowski against two potential Democratic candidates, former Gov. Tony Knowles and state Sen. Hollis French. Here are those numbers.
Murkowski--49%
Knowles--41%
Murkowski--56%
French--27%
Palin--53%
Knowles--39%
Palin--58%
French--27%
So it looks as though Palin would be more electable than Murkowski as well against at least these two Democrats in a general election. Murkowski better hope that Palin doesn't run.
The poll was taken December 15-17 and has a 4% margin of error.
