Alaska is a reliably Republican state, but the 2026 governor's race is open and competitive due to Dunleavy's term limit. A crowded GOP primary (12+ Republican candidates) with a ranked-choice general election could split the Republican vote, potentially benefiting Democrat Tom Begich if he advances to the top four.

📊 Peltola leads Sullivan in latest polls. Alaska Survey Research (March 19-22) shows Peltola ahead 46-41 in first round, 52-48 in ranked-choice final round. Earlier PPP poll (January 2026) showed Peltola leading 49-47.— Alaska Survey Research, 2026-03-22

Alaska is one of Democrats' few credible targets to flip a Republican Senate seat. Flipping Alaska along with Ohio and other seats is critical to Democrats' path to taking back Senate control.
