FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – October 20, 2026
“Independent Bill Hill has all but erased the double-digit lead Rep. Nick Begich held in August. Begich now leads just 51% to 49%.”
– Data for Progress, October 20, 2026
A new Data for Progress poll shows Begich leading Hill by just two points, 51% to 49% on the final ballot, a significant shift since their August survey.
And a new Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey, conducted from October 14-15, shows Bill trailing by just one point on the initial ballot.
“The momentum we’re seeing in the polling reflects the momentum we’re seeing on the ground: Alaskans are ready for change and in two weeks they’re going to send Bill Hill to the US House of Representatives,” said Campaign Manager Kevin Groh.
