What recent polling data reveals about Trump's approval in Alaska?
Donald Trump is getting a rude awakening in Alaska. That's right. The latest Economist poll shows that Donald Trump's approval in Alaska is negative 13. Alaska, which is generally thought of as a red state, Donald Trump has a net negative 13 approval there. Also in the latest Economist polling, Donald Trump is negative 19 in Texas, negative 16 in Iowa, negative 21 in Pennsylvania. Now Donald Trump is throwing a tantrum right now as Republicans may lose big ground in Alaska in the upcoming elections. Here's what Donald Trump just posted. The wonderful people of Alaska desperately want to restore free, fair, and honest elections. in their great state and get rid of their disastrous and very fraudulent ranked choice voting, and accordingly will vote to repeal ranked choice voting in the November 3rd, 2026 election, I want to congratulate the many hardworking American first patriots in Alaska, including my friends, Governor Mark Dunleavy, Senator Dan Sullivan, Congress member Nick Begich, and Alaska GOP Chair Carmela Warfield,
who are working tirelessly to restore true democracy to Alaska elections. If you can't win with the current rules of the game, Donald Trump's plan is just throw those rules out in the garbage. You know, interestingly, Donald Trump mentioned somebody by the name... Of Nick Begich right there, who's part of this Alaska political family that just perennially has people, you know, run for office there and then destroys the people's lives in Alaska. Right. Just I'll give you a quote right now. from Begich. Begich said back in June of 2025, tariff-driven inflation hasn't materialized, he says, and everything is going great. In fact, inflation is cooling, Begich said. This is what MAGA Republicans think about the people of Alaska.
People there are suffering. There's a reason why Donald Trump is net negative 13. Now, Donald Trump has sent his biggest campaign recruiter and his top campaign guy is a guy by the name of Scott Pressler. And so Trump sent this guy out to Alaska, who's there right now trying to get rid of ranked choice voting. and he's also out there trying to register Republicans to vote. Here's the message that the Republicans are bringing to Alaska as they're clearly panicking with the latest poll numbers. Play this clip.
Hey, everybody, this is Scott Pressler.
Why is Trump concerned about the upcoming elections in Alaska?
I'm here with Jenny Beth Martin. We are in Anchorage, Alaska, with a very respectful and peaceful message to our Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski. Please, with our elections not having proof of citizenship nor photo voter ID, we just want to make sure that one vote equals one ballot and that no vote is going to be diluted by a fraudulent or illegal alien ballot.
Now, we should also remember that Alaska was the location where Donald Trump brought Vladimir Putin and then Donald Trump and Putin, you know, collusion in plain view in Alaska. Then Donald Trump was acting as though Alaska was part of Russia. Remember, Donald Trump's like, well, I'm going to get back to the USA after this meeting. Dude, you're in Alaska. That is the USA. Here's just a quick reminder of Donald Trump and Putin in Alaska. A very shameful day in American history indeed. I'll show you this clip right here.
Now, it should also be noted that Donald Trump is scheduling a drilling auction in an Alaska wildlife refuge. That's how Donald Trump believes that with this catastrophic war in Iran, how he says this is going to make America so much stronger and make Gas prices go down. We're going to officially schedule an auction for the rights to drill in wildlife refuges in Alaska. In the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, that's where drilling will take place. The home of grizzly bears, polar bears, gray wolves, and 200 species of birds, and also a land that is sacred to indigenous peoples in the region. That's Donald Trump's plan right there. And it doesn't address the fact that with the Strait of Hormuz closed, oil is an international commodity.
And so the price of crude, whether it's WTI or Brent, is deeply impacted by what's going on in the Strait of Hormuz.
