Gravy train to end for Ted Stevens and Don Young

Alaska Report | June 9, 2008

While Don Young and Ted Stevens await their arrests for bribery and corruption, a new poll shows they’ll have plenty of time to think about it after Alaska’s August primaries.

From the Fairbanks News-Miner:

The survey found 51 percent of those responding would vote for (Mark) Begich in November’s general election, compared to 44 percent who said they would back Stevens.

Some 58 percent of responders said they felt very or somewhat positive toward Begich, while only 16 percent had a negative opinion of the 45-year-old Democratic mayor. Eleven percent of those responding didn’t know of Begich.

Stevens’ bid to win a seventh full term in the Senate has been overshadowed by an ongoing corruption investigation by the U.S. Justice Department.
