A crowdfunded poll shows a close race in Alaska, typically a safely Republican state, with President Trump and incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan leading their general election opponents by just a few points by AndrewSolender

Trump leads former Vice President Joe Biden by just 3 points, 48% to 45%, with Biden leading by 14 points among independent voters.

It follows polls showing Biden is performing abnormally well in other typically Republican states like Georgia, Texas and Arizona—although, unlike those states, Alaska hasn’t undergone demographic changes that have shifted the electorate toward Democrats. Further down the ballot, Alaska’s Republican incumbents are struggling as well, with Sen. Sullivan leading independent Al Gross, a commercial fisherman and doctor who is supported by the Democrats, by just 5 points, 39% to 34%.

Republican Rep. Don Young, the longest-serving GOP House member in history, could see his lengthy tenure cut short, as he trails independent Alyse Galvin, an educator and business owner who, like Gross, enjoys support from the Democrats, by 2 points, 43% to 41%. Both Gross and Galvin have low name recognition in the state, however, with 48% saying they are not sure of their opinion of Galvin and 72% saying the same of Gross.The poll was commissioned by “Election Twitter,” a group of young people and students on the social media platform with a passion for politics.
