Sen. Mark Begich, a Democrat in Republican-leaning Alaska, is sure to be targeted by Republicans in 2014, his seat a must pickup if the GOP hopes to retake control of Congress upper chamber.
But Begich is showing surprising strength and popularity, according to a new survey of the 49th State by Public Policy Polling. He has a 49 percent job approval rating, with only 39 percent disapproving of the job hes doing. And Begich leads a bevy of likely Republican challengers.
Sarah Palin: The Tea Party loves her, but approval ratings have plummeted back in Alaska.
He has a big, big lead 54-38 percent over former Gov. and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Palin was recently jettisoned from her pundits position by the Fox News Channel. She quit as governor in mid-term to make money.
Palin does have financial resources, but her days of 80 percent popularity ratings are long gone. Palins numbers are a reflection of her continuing to be very unpopular on the home front 34 percent of voters see her positively to 59 percent with a negative opinion, the pollster reported.
