Alaska: Begich trails as new GPS ad hits the air against him

Crossroads GPS has released a new ad against incumbent Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, just as a new poll has come out showing him trailing his Republican challenger, former Attorney General Dan Sullivan, 41 percent to 43 percent.

The Democratic polling firm Public Policy Polling found that Sullivan has increased in popularity with voters in Alaska by six points since PPP’s last survey in August, while the very vulnerable Begich’s approval rating languishes at 42 percent, with 51 percent disapproving.
